Foreclosed Open Studios
With Keynote Address by Shaun Donovan, U.S Secretary of Housing and Urban Development

Saturday, September 17, 2011
12:00 PM to 6:00 PM

Third Floor Studios

This is the last opportunity for the public to visit the Foreclosed architect-in-residence studios at MoMA PS1. The five teams will open their studios to the public and be available to discuss their work. The Open Studios will be followed by a Keynote Address by U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Shaun Donovan. The closing panel discussion, with Mohsen Mostafavi, Dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Design, and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, Dean of the Miami School of Architecture, will be moderated by Barry Bergdoll, MoMA's Philip Johnson Chief Curator of Architecture and Design, and Reinhold Martin, Director, Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture at Columbia University. 

Foreclosed: Rehousing the American Dream is a collaboration between The Museum of Modern Art and Columbia University's Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture. Jointly conceived and curated by Bergdoll and Martin, the workshop and exhibition will examine new architectural possibilities for American cities and suburbs in the context of the recent foreclosure crisis. The Buell Hypothesis, a research publication, envisions a rethinking of housing and related infrastructures that could catalyze urban transformation, particularly in the American suburbs. 

The five interdisciplinary teams are comprised of professionals from various fields, such as urban planning, housing policy, ecology, landscape design, engineering, and the social sciences. Each team is focusing on a specific "megaregion," a metropolitan area that lies within a corridor between two major cities. Read more about the Foreclosed project at Inside/Out, the MoMA/MoMA PS1 blog.

Teams will present simultaneously in different studios, giving visitors a choice of presentations to attend. Select presentations will be live-streamed.
