Meredith TenHoor: The Infrastructure of Mass Consumption

Mar 13, 2012; 12:00 am

Meredith TenHoor presents some of the markets, transportation networks and other infrastructures that made the mass consumption of designed goods possible in the ‘60s and ‘70s. She discusses how they were designed, what forms of consumption they enabled, and how they have been appropriated and transformed for more sustainable uses today. TenHoor is a PhD candidate in the architecture department at Princeton University and is currently writing a history of architecture and biopolitics in food markets of Paris. Presented by the MFA Design Criticism Department.
