Designing for Singleness: Gallery talk moderated by Beatriz Colomina
How do we think about designing homes and housing for single people? Whether childless, living apart from a partner, or cohabitating with roommates, singleness takes many spatial forms and is a largely unexplored design question.
Presented with the exhibition The House Transformed, join this conversation moderated by Beatriz Colomina with exhibitors Daisy Ames, Paul Lewis, Clara Sola Morales, and Verena von Beckerath.
Light bites and refreshments will be served.

303 Bond Street, Brooklyn

Mondays–Thursdays, 10 am–6 pm

Following its debut at the Princeton University School of Architecture, 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.
Curated by Mónica Ponce de León, Princeton School of Architecture, with Shoshana Torn and Massimo Giannone.
