Abstract:
The American Dream in terms of housing has been promoted through the
standard of single-family homeownership. However, the current model of the American Dream creates various social, economic, and environmental problems. The Redefining the Dream is an immersive learning project that was created as a response to the recent housing crisis. Redefining the Dream seeks to analyze children's perceptions on housing and provide educational tools that will allow America's future housing consumers to understand a variety of housing structures and tenure statuses. By understanding problems with the current model of the American Dream being promoted, the American Dream can be expanded and can satisfy Americans' housing needs and wants without eradicating the American Dream.
