About Event

How do members of Gen X, Y, and Z think about home? What about residential architecture do they see as valuable, problematic, compelling, or needing more exploration? Mónica Ponce de León, Shoshana Torn, and Massimo Giannone—the generation-spanning curators of The House Transformed—discuss their views in a conversation led by Tiffany Jow, editor-in-chief of the design journal Untapped.

​About the Exhibition

The House Transformed
On view through May 22, 2026
303 Bond Street, Brooklyn

​Exhibition hours:
Mondays–Thursdays, 10 am–6 pm
Fridays–Saturdays, 12–6 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.
