Paul Rudolph's prefab highrise

Built recently, and not prefabbed, but a nice concept from the sixties, to slot in boxes on a frame.

Melnikov's house during construction

The first Ferrari

1947. Here's the engine, above, that utilized mouse trap springs. There are contenders to this throne, though, as the first use of the horse motif was the 1935 Alfa Bimotore, on which Enzo Ferrari worked.
