Between 2013 and 2016, a team at GSAPP’s Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture attempted to answer a series of questions: What is the relationship between architecture, real estate, and the imagination? How are designers implicated in the profit-driven development that significantly shapes both where we live and how we belong? How did this happen? To date, the results of this research have appeared as site-specific interventions in VeniceChicagoBerlin, and Los Angeles; were compiled in a website; were analyzed in a report; and have traveled in the form of the exhibition, House Housing: An Untimely History of Architecture and Real Estate, in Pieces—shown from November 7th–27th at the Galleri AHO as a part of the Oslo Architecture Triennale.

On November 25th at 18:00, Jacob Moore, Assistant Director of the Buell Center and Curator (with Susanne Schindler) of House Housing, presented on the project and discussed its relationship to the OAT theme of "After Belonging" with Léa-Catherine Szacka, Assistant Professor, the Institute for Form, History and Theory and Project Coordinator for AHO at OAT 2016.

The presentation of the exhibition in Oslo was organized by the Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture, Columbia GSAPP, in collaboration with the Oslo School of Architecture and Design, and the Oslo Architecture Triennale.
