As part of DesignPhiladelphia’s 2026 Festival, Architecture of Us is a bold sculptural installation on Broad Street.
DesignPhiladelphia sets the scene:
“Architecture of Us traces the story of Philadelphia's rowhome, from its origins housing immigrant communities and multigenerational families, to the pressures reshaping it today. The exhibition explores small-scale housing types, including accessory dwelling units, co-housing, and single-stair apartment buildings, that offer more affordable, more connected ways to live without abandoning the human scale of the block.”
Architecture of Us is a co-production of three Village of Industry and Art tenants by DesignPhiladelphia, AIA Philadelphia, and the Community Design Collaborative.
Architecture of Us will be on view from Oct. 1 through Oct. 31 at Village of Industry and Art. The work is located outside of VIA’s main entrance on Broad Street, in the garden in front of the southern wing. This is the northwestern corner of the intersection of Broad Street and Pine Street.
