RED LINES HOUSING CRISIS LEARNING CENTER

Red Lines Housing Crisis Learning Center is a mobile exhibition kit designed to immerse visitors in the financial landscape of architecture.

Who supplies the money to construct and buy buildings? What are the historical relationships between lenders and borrowers? How are ownership claims produced and circulated? As what has become known in United States as the Subprime Meltdown continues to spread – pushing people out of homes, wasting neighbourhoods, bankrupting institutions and threatening global economic crisis – Red Lines aims to broaden and enrich the urgent conversation about how our society finances its living environments.
