Foreclosed: Rehousing the American Dream
By Barry Bergdoll and Reinhold Martin
In the summer of 2011, The Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1 invited five teams of architects, planners, ecologists, engineers, and landscape designers to propose new architectural possibilities for American cities and suburbs in the aftermath of the recent foreclosure crisis. Each team focused on a specific town within one of five regions—the Northeast, the Southeast, the Midwest, the Pacific Northwest, and Southwest—to come up with inventive solutions that reimagined existing patterns of living, working, and home ownership.
Published in conjunction with the accompanying exhibition, Foreclosed: Rehousing the American Dream presents these five proposals through detailed illustrations, interviews with the team leaders, and essays by Barry Bergdoll, MoMA's Philip Johnson Chief Curator of Architecture and Design, and Reinhold Martin, Director of the Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture at Columbia University.
Foreclosed is also available in digital format.
