Housing as a Human Right

Chicago Architecture Biennial, Chicago IL

With architectural artifacts recovered from the Jane Addams Homes and oral histories of housing residents as source material, we presented a dynamic exhibition that challenged mainstream narratives about public housing. The exhibit includes architectural and design interventions, a poetic ruin, artworks, design projects, critical writing, and a candy store that reflects the entrepreneurial spirit of public housing residents. Elements from this pop-up exhibition became part of the permanent National Public Housing Museum.
