Discussion will focus on topics ranging from the evolution of the nuptial bedroom and the kitchen in the 20th century (integrating studies from the field of family and gender history) to examples of governmental space whose design reflects practices of exclusion. The goal of this course is for students to examine through a series of case studies the implications of cultural and social issues in design. |
