Reassembling the American Dream by Alexandra Lange on Design Observer

CHECK THIS OUT. Though it’s an exhibition series, the concepts and formats are very aligned with what we’re doing for projects: considering the messy realities of design in a public forum, with participation and input from audiences and public officials. Woah!

“Last week, the Museum of Modern Art opened “Foreclosed: Rehousing the American Dream,” the second in an ongoing series of exhibitions exploring issues in contemporary architecture [The first exhibition in the series]…succeeded in combining design and the public in multiple ways. Teams worked out loud at PS1, giving midstream presentations of their research; the project generated ideas that were then studied (at least) by public officials; MoMA’s Architecture and Design department injected itself into a broader public discourse than it had for some time.”
