Hive 50 Honors
For collapsing time barriers between design and occupancy by using recycled steel and glass to create resilient structures from prefabricated, modularized components.
What You Need To Know
For architect David Hovey, big ideas come in simple, raw, and found materials. He’s invented a structural “hardware” system that uses recycled steel, treated to be corrosion-resistant, and flows it into a 7-foot-by-7-foot, module-and component-based grid that can be nimbly applied for design flexibility. Precision-crafted structural members assemble fast on any homesite.
