Beschreibung: „A curated exhibition on 50 years of dwelling history in the garden cities of Amsterdam will be the focal point of this presentation in explaining the historic and above all social relation between the micro perspective of the individual domestic interior and the macro perspective of housing and urban planning. Not only the material culture of housing and home is pervaded by the gender ideology of the time, but also the urban planning of the Amsterdam garden cities. Irene Cieraad will present two alternating home ideals which have dominated the modern history of dwelling and will do so in the near future.“
