Description
Architectures of Spatial Justice by Dana Cuff explores how architects are redefining their profession to promote spatial justice and more equitable buildings and cities. As societal issues like racism, climate crisis, and inequality have come to the forefront, architects are being challenged to rethink their role in addressing these problems. This book examines the ethics of spatial justice and its implications for architecture, focusing on two key areas: the relationship between architecture and the public, and its dependence on capital. Through case studies from around the world, including Chile, Mexico, Japan, and the United States, Cuff highlights ethically driven practices that break with conventional norms to address long-standing inequities in the built environment. By uncovering the limits of architecture and its potential for positive change, Architectures of Spatial Justice offers a compelling blend of theory, history, and applied practice.
