Making Home—Smithsonian Design Triennial
Cooper Hewitt, New York, New York
November 2, 2024–August 10, 2025
The 25 new installations by designers and artists in this show, the Smithsonian’s seventh exploration of the role of design in contemporary discourse, examine the idea of home through three lenses: how people shape domestic spaces, how utopian and other visionary efforts challenge conventional ideas of home, and how new modes of conceiving and building domestic structures can address urgent social and environmental issues.
