This exhibition is about different ways of looking at dwelling in America. Since there is no single answer that architecture can provide to solve problems—to propose esthetic solutions and to create high performance shelter for everyone, looking at a range of scales, technologies and domestic patterns is our charge as architects and is what this exhibition is about. Ways of looking is relativistic and gives us multiple perspectives, guarding against the tyranny of the singular view.
THIRTEEN AMERICAN HOUSES looks at the single family house in the work of LEVENBETTS as captured in a book called Thirteen Ways of Looking at a House.
NINE CITY BLOCKS looks at the densification of the low level American city in a project called City of Trees and is based on repeatable prototypes constructed of mass timber and on plants and trees as critical components in a healthy city.
THREE WOOD DWELLINGS looks at the anatomy of a single large block in the City of Trees project and the anatomy of the variable timber based prototypes that comprise the dwellings in the larger proposal.
