Symposium: Noncompliant Bodies – Social Equity and Public Space

01.04.2018

The discipline of architecture tends to overlook or actively exclude persons who fall outside white, male, heterosexual, able-bodied norms. This symposium, convened by Joel Sanders and Susan Stryker, assembles a cross-disciplinary group of designers and scholars to explore the relationship between architecture and the demands for social justice voiced by people who have been marginalized and oppressed on the basis of race, gender and disability. The symposium will examine how designers working in collaboration with experts from related disciplines can critique and transform one of three architectural types: restrooms, museums, and urban streets. The objective is to propose alternative futures that rethink the relationship between bodies and built environments in ways that better serve the goals of social equity.

Noncompliant Bodies complies with AIA Health, Safety and Welfare credits. All three sessions of the symposium have been approved as HSW courses for the AIA’s Continuing Education System.
