Establishing an ethics of spatial justice to lead architecture forward, Dana Cuff shows why the discipline requires critical examination--in relation to not only buildings and the capital required to realize them but privilege, power, aesthetics, and sociality. That is, it requires a reevaluation of architecture's fundamental tenets. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOrganized around projects and topics, \u003ci\u003eArchitectures of Spatial Justice \u003c\/i\u003eis a compelling blend of theory, history, and applied practice that focuses on two foundational conditions of architecture: its relation to the public and its dependence on capital. The book draws on studies of architectural projects from around the world, with instructive case studies from Chile, Mexico, Japan, and the United States that focus in particular on urban centers, where architecture is most directly engaged with social justice issues. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEmerging from more than two decades of the author's own project-based research, \u003ci\u003eArchitectures of Spatial Justice\u003c\/i\u003e examines ethically driven practices that break with professional conventions to correct long-standing inequities in the built environment, uncovering architecture's limits--and its potential.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDana Cuff is Professor of Architecture and Urban Design and Director and Founder of cityLAB at the University of California, Los Angeles, where she is also the leader of the Urban Humanities Initiative.
