That’s less time than it takes to listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Free Bird.”</p><p>When compressed, the building can be transported by a truck. After you set it up in your preferred location, the building expands like an accordion, using a counterbalance system to grow roughly three times its original size.</p><p>Ten Fold Engineering</a> says its self-deploying building can also be used for medical clinics, stores, or office space. And it’s yours to unfold for about $130,000.</p></p><br /> <p>The post This Folding Home Assembles Itself In 8 Minutes</a> appeared first on Vocativ</a>.</p>
