The Spaces Between Us: Gender, Race, Class, and the Built Environment

Thursday, April 15th, 1993
Leslie Kanes Weisman
8:00pm

Auditorium, Room 2100, Music Building
1114 West Nevada Street, Urbana

Event Description

"Architecture thus defined is a record of deeds done by those who have had the power to build. It is shaped by social, political, and economic forces and values embodied in the forms themselves, the processes through which they are built, and the manner in which they are used. Creating buildings involves moral choices that are subject to moral judgment."
