Section 003 (LAB)
The built environment bears the stamp of slavery supported by new forms of forced labor. Starting with an understanding that architecture isn't value-neutral and that racism intersects with urban planning, land use, and environmental problems, this class will confront such issues through a U-M/Yale partnership. Students will create a framework for the National Slavery Memorial in Washington, D.C., as multidisciplinary teams from law, planning, history, and other fields learn problem-solving skills, conduct research, and approach the politics, ethics, and mechanics of construction holistically.
