Affordable Housing at the Goldstein

Wednesday, June 20, 2007


Recently, I visited the
Goldstein Museum of Design on the University of Minnesota's St. Paul campus to see their new exhibits, "Affordable Housing: Designing an American Asset" and "Leading from Policy to Practice: Affordable Housing in Minnesota." I was unsure of what to expect, but found a small exhibit rich in the history of affordable housing, and current projects both locally and nationally that are leading examples of positive steps in affordable housing. The exhibit highlights projects that are both economically, politically, and socially responsive, and in a few cases, showcases projects, such as Swan's Marketplace (above) and Colorado Court, that point to the future of affordable housing.

Check out this exhibit now through the 1st of July and
visit the museums website for more information on the exhibit, the museums history, and to see what they have in store for us next.
