Due to the first Monday of September falling on Labor Day, we will not be hosting an Eco-Arch Guild meeting this Month. In the mean time, we encourage you to checkout a current exhibition titled “Unbundling the Housing Crisis”.
In recent years, the housing crisis has transformed once vibrant neighborhoods into vacant landscapes of foreclosure and collapse. Much attention has been given to the financial causes of the crisis but few projects have gone beyond that, until now.
In the exhibit “Unbundling the Housing Crisis,” at the Form + Content gallery now through September 5th, 8 interdisciplinary groups of artists, designers, writers, scientists, and thinkers were asked to collaborate, research, create and present projects examining all aspects of the housing crisis.
