Although we’ve been appalled by plenty of McMansions, we still find the greater mystery to be the look of inexpensive homes, which can be the epitome of ugly. Can’t inexpensive mean simple and attractive? The HOME House Project demonstrates that low-cost (or at least lower-cost) homes can be creative, inspiring, sustainable, innovative, and even beautiful. Moreover, the exhibit takes the view that they really should be all of these things, if people are going to care for and invest in them. On view are award-winning visions from more than a hundred local and national architects tackling a critical issue. 333 East River Rd., Minneapolis; 612-625-9494; www.weisman.umn.edu
