Petrides Homes

Research

Petrides Homes has conducted original research in the areas of systems built housing, digital fabrication and contemporary Japanese homebuilding, which uses both the former techniques.  Our research has been shared broadly, including at the American Institute of Architect’s convention, directly with architects and most recently with the Museum of Modern Art’s architecture and design curatorial staff.  The latter used our research to get a “head start” in the area as they were preparing their current exhibition “Home Delivery” exhibited in the Summer-Fall 2008.  More on that exhibition at:  http://www.momahomedelivery.org/
