Symposium: "Living in America: Frank Lloyd Wright, Harlem & Modern Housing"

The question of how to live in America preoccupied many architects and planners—from Frank Lloyd Wright to the consortium behind Harlem’s first public

housing proposals—in the mid-twentieth century. This symposium gathers housing scholars for a conversation that bridges what might otherwise seem

like disparate realms of inquiry in order to reassess received histories and to provoke new questions about how we live in America, together, today.
