Developed by the City Design Center, College of Architecture and the Arts, UIC in collaboration with The Field Museum, the exhibition features original models and drawings by noted architects and industrial designers.

Contrary to popular belief, manufactured homes have long been an affordable and high quality housing option. The history of these pre-fabricated dwellings transcends time and cultural boundaries, reflecting a long and colorful history. Native American teepees, yurts in Central Asia, Sears and Roebuck “kit houses,” and the mobile home are but a few examples.
