"A Day in the Life of a Prefab"
Saturday, June 22
12 pm
LA Convention Center, Demo Stage

Get a behind-the-scenes look at how technology, design, advanced manufacturing, streamlined operations and customer service combine to create the home of the future. Brought to life in dynamic visuals including a time-lapse video highlighting the complete evolution of a Blu Homes prefab, see how a beautiful, green, state-of-the-art home is born—from 3-D model to factory floor to completed house. Hosted by Dwell editor-in-chief Amanda Dameron and narrated by Blu Homes director of customer design Scott Dergance the presentation will be followed by a short Q&A from the audience.

"A Passion for Prefab"
Sunday, June 23
3 pm
LA Convention Center, Demo Stage

What is it about the prefab genre that continues to beguile? What gems from its architectural past are still viable? What took us so long to embrace this amazing way to build homes? What's new that makes this the most intriguing way to build today? What's possible in prefab's future? Blu Homes cofounder Maura McCarthy and vice president of design and creative director Karl Daubmann will discuss all this and how they've turned the traditional approach to prefab on its ear. Moderated by Dwell senior editor Kelsey Keith, the presentation will be followed by a short Q&A from the audience.
