Suburbs, Jetsons style: MoMA remaps America [SLIDESHOW]

Architects, ecologists, and landscape designers reimagined suburbia for a new show at the Museum of Modern Art.

This concept for suburban Keizer, Ore., called Nature City, includes a massive “compost hill” that harvests methane from yard waste, creates compost, and warms the swimming pools on top. *WORKac*

Sky gardens! Vertical neighborhoods! “Recombinant” houses that can be taken apart and reassembled! They’re all here, in a new show at the Museum of Modern Art called Foreclosed: Rehousing the American Dream, in which teams of architects, ecologists, and landscape designers reimagined suburbia.
