Homeâa word dense with personal and social meaning, it conjures images of everything from a stately mansion to an apartment building to a childâs treetop refuge. More than simply a house, a home is at once the focus of domestic aspirations and the outward expression of them, however modest or grand. Imagining Home: Selections from the Heinz Architectural Center presents more than 125 drawings, models, books, and games from its collection that reveal ways in which the home has been envisioned over the last 200 years. Among the subjects explored are the range of styles in residential architecture, innovative construction technologies, interior designs, company-built housing, and the modern and contemporary house. Architectural objects from the collection are supplemented by photography, video, and two new installations commissioned for this exhibition.
