RACE. Exploring the Modern-Colonial Legacy in Contemporary Architecture

Abstract

Architecture is an inward looking discipline. Its history conveys the norms of the discipline to an audience composed mostly of architects, who are familiar with the work of their predeces-sors –from whom they learnt, or for whom they worked. As such, architecture singularises the multiple processes through which  space is produced, excluding difference in the pursuit of coherent narratives to sustain its authority, and does so mainly through the figure of the ar-chitect.
