Open house by Droog

Droog reported last year that it has partnered with architecture firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro for Open House, a project that explores the service industry through architecture and art. Today they announced the presentation will be held on April 23rd starting with a symposium at Studio-X then onwards to Levittown where visitors will be able to experience the installation throughout several houses in the neighborhood.

“Open house encourages self-inventiveness, offers ideas, and proposes new models for suburban housing, striking a new balance between the private and public realm. Starting with an economic argument for the struggling middle class, the proposal also addresses the challenges posed by urban sprawl and single– owner consumption. The new residential marketplace not only brings more capital and density to the neighborhood, it also increases social cohesion through service exchange.”

The event is free but there is an optional transportation fee from Studio-X to Levittown. RSVP for the event here.
