Ticky tacky is a term used to describe cheap and low-quality building materials and construction techniques that can be easily molded and shaped into standard sizes. The term was popularized by the American songwriter Malvina Reynolds in her 1962 song, "Little Boxes," which described the development of mass-produced suburban housing in the United States.
Ticky tacky is typically made from lightweight materials such as vinyl or plastic and is designed to be easily assembled and disassembled. It is often used for shoddy or temporary construction work, such as in emergency shelters or military encampments.
Critics of ticky tacky construction argue that it is environmentally damaging, as it often contains toxic chemicals and cannot be recycled. Additionally, it is considered to be aesthetically unappealing and contributes to the uniformity and homogeneity of modern suburban landscapes.
Despite its negative reputation, ticky tacky continues to be used widely in construction, due to its low cost and ease of use. However, many architects and designers are now exploring alternative materials and construction techniques that are more sustainable and aesthetically pleasing.
