House Housing: An Untimely History of Architecture and Real Estate
is an ongoing, multi-year research project conducted by the Temple
Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture at Columbia
University. The initiative seeks to encourage a public, historically
informed conversation about the intersection of architecture and
real estate development. The untimeliness of this history, as indicated
by the project’s title, is twofold. First, it returns us to financial matters
widely discussed in the immediate aftermath of the 2008 foreclosure
crisis but now largely abandoned by mainstream discourse. Second, it
discloses surprising repetitions of themes, tendencies, and actions—
reminding us that the economic infrastructures on which architecture
rests are the outcome of such repetitions, rather than an a priori,
natural ground. These infrastructures locate housing at the center of the
current economic regime, with the United States as an influential node
in a transnational network.
House Housing consists of a growing body of research that draws
on multimedia sources. The results, which include this book, have
appeared in numerous locations as exhibitions, panel discussions, and
publications, and relate to different institutional frames. Overall, House
Housing’s objects of inquiry range from architect-designed houses
to prefabricated apartment blocks to suburban gated communities. All
of these architectures are analyzed in light of their position at the
intersection of design, policy, and finance. New narratives emerge out
of surprising juxtapositions.
The House Housing website, focusing on evidence, analysis, and
clear sourcing, reflects the Center’s dialogic approach to research while
creating opportunities for interested parties to join in. In this way, House
Housing aims not only to craft what we see as a much needed and
heretofore unwritten history of architecture and real estate, but also to
support the Center’s mission by generating public scholarship in an open
conversation with our various constituencies.
