The Home Delivery exhibition at the MOMA (on view until October 20th) , is a beautifully curated show. But the real highlight for me was the supplemental exhibit across the street at MOMA's 54th Street lot (which will be on view until October 26). The 54th Street lot houses 5 prefabricated homes commissioned by the MOMA specifically for the show.

Walking on your own through the houses was a fun experience, but not much background information was viewable on site for each project. Fortunately the MOMA created video walkthroughs for each home, seen below:

Earlier this year I saw the colorful Alexander Girard Alphabet Blocks created by House Industries (a beautiful collaboration between them and the Alexander Girard estate).
As a perfect companion to Mike Perry’s Hand Job: A Catalog of Type, a year later Princeton Architectural Press publishes Over & Over: A Catalog of Hand-Drawn Patterns. The hand-drawn pattern collection seen in Over & Over spans the work of 50 talented designers / artists (plus Mike Perry himself).
Below is a small sampling of the work found inside:
