Mer MoMA: för stadsplaneringsnördarna

"The home-foreclosure crisis of the last five years and the wider international financial downturn of which it is a complex part have shaken Americans' confidence in the future of the country's suburbs. Suburbs have long been the sites of a key component of the American Dream: personal ownership of a single-family home on a swath of green lawn, an investment that once guaranteed stability and a legacy for the next generation. This exhibition proposes that these crises have a silver lining: they have created opportunities for radically rethinking the building blocks of the United States' fast-growing urban fringe and developing a new national conversation on issues of housing, transportation, and public space. The projects in this exhibition, developed by five interdisciplinary teams of designers, respond to the analysis in The Buell Hypothesis (2011), a research project of the Temple Hoyne Buell center for the study of American Architecture, at Columbia University."
