The House of the future
(David Hammons):
Located on the corner of America and Reid Streets in downtown
Charleston, The House of the Future
is a project initiated by artist David
Hammons for the 1991 Spoleto Festival USA’s 15th anniversary exhibition. Inspired by the vernacular of
the Charleston “Skinny House,” Hammons and local contractor Albert
Halston built a six foot wide, two
structures story as the pointed gesture to the ubiquitous architecture
of the historic city. Situated diagonally on the corner lot, The House of
the Future represents a community
where corner stores, corner churches, and corner gathering spots are
central parts of life. Created using a
patchwork of varying architectural
styles seen on Charleston homes,
small placards label these styles and
the house thus functions as a learning tool for the neighborhood youth.
