Foreclosed: Rehousing the American Dream



 I actually had the opportunity to see this exhibit first-hand while I was exploring the Museum of Modern Art in New York City last summer. It was a very interesting exhibit that sought to bring the foreclosure crisis to the table by "examining suburban housing paradigms through five sample megaregions," each created by five different architects.

The typography of this exhibit wasn't anything extraordinary, but simple and to the point. The whole point of the exhibit was to bring information and new ideas in a legible, precise fashion. I think it is safe to say that the exhibit achieved that with their choice of simple san serif fonts that look very similar to Trade Gothic and Benton Sans.
