Critics Review
“Curators Cameron, De León, and Wilkinson use Making Home, Smithsonian Design Triennial, an exhibit at the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, as a springboard for this thought-provoking anthology on the intersection of home and design…Amid the anthology’s thematic diversity, two important points emerge: that design is more than a physical place, and that home is not a preexisting concept but that which is cocreated by people, their spaces, and their environments. It’s a multifaceted meditation on what it means to be at home in the world.”
