“A Clean Break” Prefab Neighborhood Opens Tonight at 7PM

I don’t know how I forgot to post anything on this event until now. Get ready for lots of links in this post. A Clean Break sponsored and coordinated by Minima is part of the Design Philadelphia citywide event that is starting today and running for a week straight with over 90 programs scheduled.

ISA was asked to participate in the event a few months ago to specifically showcase the 100K House project along with other distinguished exhibitors. ISA has easily put in three nine man weeks (is that a term?) to prepare a smashing exhibit for this show. They’ve done a bang up job, so if you have time come on out to support them. The grand opening is tonight from 7PM - 10PM and we’ll be getting there around 6PM to check out the final product. More details below:

Event: A Clean Break: Pop up Neighborhood

Where: 313 S Broad St across from Kimmel Center

When: Opening Oct 16th at 7PM and running until Oct 30th (11AM - 7PM)

Lastly, Brian from ISA and I (and maybe Nic) will be part of a panel on Saturday, October 25th in conjunction with this event. We will be sharing a table with Peter LaBonte of Modern Modular in Brooklyn. The subject is Deliberate Development. Check out the event calender for more information or to RSVP for the event which will be from 3:30 - 4:45.

In regards to man weeks we will need clarification on hours of work. Total man hours were somewhere in excess of 350 hours of labor, transport, and installation. This does not account for any of the design time or powerpoint presentation preparation, that was another chunk of hours. But damn it looks good

Hot damn! That’s a lot of work. Post has been corrected.
