Using the analogy of the Rubik's Cube, the team asked themselves, 'What if the bungalow could be taken apart and sorted into separate pieces—bedroom, kitchen, lawns—and reassembled as needed?' They then designed a new kind of 'Recombinant House' enabling that flexibility. The house is affordable because people can buy only what they need at the time they need it, and then can add or subtract spaces as families grow, shrink, or otherwise change." The project is profiled in The Museum of Modern Art's new release, Foreclosed: Rehousing the American Dream.

| | | FEATURED LIBRARY Information design pioneer Edward Tufte sums up the ever-increasing relevance of graphic design to our times with his observation that “clutter is a failure of design, not an attribute of information.” In the golden age of paraphernalia, it falls to the graphic designer to clarify the clutter, and the ability to compose visual and linguistic data so that it grabs both eye and mind determines the success of just about every merchandized product, from a flyer in the mailbox to the web. Historically, graphic design has also defined the look of entire avant-garde art movements and even whole eras, through album art and movie posters. Below is a selection of our finest monographs and surveys on graphic design, from modernist Italian travel posters to web design. continue

"As a curator, I am often asked about the future of art. And because compiling thoughts about the future is to take a snapshot of the contemporary moment, my answer is always that we have to listen to artists."
–Hans Ulrich Obrist, excerpted from the forthcoming volume, The Future Will Be… China Edition: Thoughts on What’s to Come.
