Unprivate House

Museum of Modern Art (New York)

4/5 ( ratings)

How would you build a house for a cyborg? The Un-Private House examines this and other questions confronting domestic architecture at the end of the century. Changes in family structure, shifting concepts of privacy and domesticity, the home as workplace, and the revolution in communications and media have created totally new relationships between exterior and interior worlds.Photographs, plans, and drawings present 26 projects by architectural firms in the United States, Europe, and Japan. Their innovations include spectacular new materials, including "smart skins" through which houses themselves transmit information, as well as new structural forms. The houses presented here, and their architects, are not only reconfiguring the domestic landscape but also launching the first architectural debates of the 21st century.
