Routledge Critical Companion to Race and Architecture

Beschreibung

This book explores the malleability of race as a construct, one subject to continuous redefinitions in different times, cultures and places. It embraces discussions about theory, urban and regional debates, architectural design, history and education, exploring the concept of race in all aspects of the discipline.
