FYS 116 The Architecture of Democracy
This course explores how space and place and values come together in the design of our public space and the presentation of our public buildings. Students will study the expression of architectural schools and political values in public structures. We will apply these lessons to local civic structures and spaces, both through assessment and imagining change to these places and spaces. Special topics will include social messages and the changing meaning of public spaces, including controversies over Confederate memorials.
