“Another surprise: reading the prefab architecture book was a hit. The kid’s always asking why this and how’d they do that. all. the. time. So I broke out my new copy of the awesome prefab house project catalogue I’d just gotten Friday and read it to her. She ate it up. It’s Loblolly House, a getaway on Chesapeake Bay by KieranTimberlake which is made out of off-the-shelf industrial aluminum scaffolding.
“We’d watched the architects working on their house next to MoMA the last few weeks, but the added familiarity was less important than the detailed story of a house being built. We read it three times for an hour. On the other hand, my idea of drawing pictures of things we read about in Henry David Thoreau’s Walden was rejected. I swear, kids these days.”
