#2 pdcst Architect Michelle Kaufmann Interview-1.mp3 When
architect Michelle Kaufmann created the Glidehouse and Breezehouse
designs using modular technology, her fresh approach to modern
construction attracted the main stream press in droves, including a
devoted following from the editors of Dwell magazine. Now Michelle
is changing the way builders and buyers are seeing sustainable
development, with her mkSolaire design that is on display through
Jan. 4, 2009 at Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry. The
home—which was built by All American Homes—has been dubbed the
‘greenest home in America.’ The museum named it the Smart Home:
Green + Wired, Powered by ComEd and Warmed by Peoples Gas. In this
30-minute interview, Michelle gives us insight into her journey to
embrace building systems. Michelle also gives us the details on how
much modular construction can save buyers and builders and why it’s
the best way to go green in home construction and community
development.
