Architecture as Apparatus and Social Process

Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Nandini Bagchee & Vyjayanthi Rao

What is the place of architecture within the collective social imaginary? This question has been raised in different ways over time from within and outside the profession, but it gains special urgency as we deal with urbanization on a planetary scale and a dramatic expansion of the built environment. The continued relevance of designing to expand built environments at different scales is being questioned both outside and within the profession, with critiques situating the impact of building in a vastly expanded social and political field.
