Description
Architecture is often overlooked as a system of the construction and representation of culture and justice becoming an easily naturalized and unquestioned part of our environment. This course aims to use critical theory to examine the concept of design justice and the relationship between the social construction identity and the construction of the built environment. We will explore the way that cultural identities are constructed, confirmed, replicated, and understood in the built environment and the design and production of the built environment with a particular emphasis on design justice. Students must concurrently enroll in ARCH 4010 and ARCH 4375.
