Africa and Beyond: Decolonizing Design Culture
This course will question mainstream narratives in design culture by invoking underrepresented paradigms in the building arts. In particular, building traditions and design cultures on the African continent will be examined, from their pre-colonial origins to the modern struggles that would follow. This analysis will propel discussions on the continued mechanisms of division, the role of designers in decolonizing their discipline, and methodologies towards inherently inclusive and sustainable societies.
