Social Science and Architecture History Primer

Fifty years ago social scientists radically intercepted architectural training and professional practice. The field remains indelibly impacted yet far from transformed. Under what conditions have social scientists challenged the culture of architectural education and practice? Which areas remain unchallenged?

Panelists will connect the historic events of this fifty-year period to the evolution of the field and design practices.
