Affordable
Housing: Designing an American Asset
The Left Bank, 3101 Walnut
The University of Pennsylvania
Some of the country’s most
gifted architects are focusing
their visions and energy on designing attractive, efficient
homes for low-income families. Their work shows that low-
cost housing can be both quality housing and a community
asset. This exhibition features selected projects from across
the United States and places them within the broader context
of affordable housing history.
The Affordable Housing: Designing an American Asset
traveling exhibition and associated tour were organized
by the National Building Museum, Washington D.C., and
made possible by generous grants from the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development, Fannie Mae
Foundation, and the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS.
The Philadelphia exhibition is being presented in partner-
ship with the University of Pennsylvania School of Design,
Department of City Planning, and Center for Innovation in
Affordable Housing Design. Additional support is being
provided by the University of Pennsylvania Facilities and
Real Estate Services. |
