FitzSimons’s installation is meant to explore how we “view, think and dream” about homes



  • Chicago Architecture Biennial 2015: a stark installation on the Chicago lakefront by artist Sarah FitzSimons features the outline of a traditional two-storey American house (+ slideshow).
  • Her work has been exhibited in cities around the US.

    House is on view in Chicago through 25 October.

  • Titled House, the structure sits on a beach along Lake Michigan, with a part of it submerged in water.
  • The temporary installation has no roof, walls, nor cladding – leaving it intentionally open to the elements.
  • FitzSimons used aluminium poles and joints to create the outline of a typical two-storey home found in the American Midwest.
