Field Report: Urban Design as High Art Recently, the Museum of Modern Art commissioned works from several prominent modern architecture practices.

Field Report: Urban Design as High Art

Recently, the Museum of Modern Art commissioned works from several prominent modern architecture practices. The teams were asked to reimagine the American suburb, approaching the problem of redevelopment in the wake of the housing crisis and demographic changes.

While this will take some of your time, they are worth reviewing, as this project may be a watershed of sorts in American urban design. Will it be substantive, or just hollow architectural fantasy?
