Misprinted prefab houses

Misprinted prefab houses: "

These weird, blobular forms (orignally featured in the Swiss magazine Hochparterre) are misprinted houses generated by automated prefab concrete machines: 'Based on iconic housing shapes, these buildings were intended as prototypes for mass-customization. Yet, as things go with computerized manufacturing, there have been misplots. The cartridge was not loaded properly. The concrete was set to the wrong parameters or scale. The printer module falsely translated a data set...

These misprints are the rejects of this early process, and they are now being used as shared homes by elderly people from the former squatter scene.'
