BREAKTHROUGH: Housing Futures, National Public Housing Museum, Chicago, November 19, 2025 – April 19, 2026.
This immersive exhibition creates an experimental living room and learning space for conversations about affordable housing futures, past and present. BREAKTHROUGH blends historical documentation of ambitious HUD demonstration projects from the 1970s with new prototypes from The Housing Futures Initiative, led by Alexander Eisenschmidt. This work aims to challenge the social, cultural, and economic conventions of housing by rethinking the design, material, and construction of urban living. Partner of this year’s Chicago Architecture Biennial.
