Friends new and old ventured out after a historic blizzard to celebrate the exhibition The House Transformed

On February 24, friends new and old ventured out after a historic blizzard to celebrate The House Transformed.

On view at Van Alen Institute through May 22, 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.

The exhibition debuted at the Princeton University School of Architecture and is curated by Mónica Ponce de León with Shoshana Torn and Massimo Giannone.
