On view February 24–May 22, 2026
Van Alen Institute
303 Bond Street, Brooklyn
Following its debut at the Princeton School of Architecture (SoA), The House Transformed presents new ideas for domestic architecture. Featuring participants from local and global contexts, the exhibition rejects conventional notions of nuclear family and a “one-size-fits-all” approach to the house. These models and drawings explore alternative concepts for collective living, multigenerational households, and caregiving.
Curated by Mónica Ponce de León, George Dutton ’27 Professor in Architecture, Princeton School of Architecture, with Shoshana Torn and Massimo Giannone.
