The Avery Review
Building Access
For whom is architecture? Who constitutes the imagined publics around which an architectural project is designed, and what role does financial capital play in outlining those publics? Whose presence is omitted and suppressed, explicitly or implicitly? What are architecture’s on-the-ground, in-the-world effects? Whether by revisiting existing urban spaces or by excavating the latent assumptions that undergird any idea about the future of the city, the essays gathered here look beyond designers’ stated intentions to offer critical readings of the public realm and the means (both material and immaterial) through which that realm is conceived and constructed.
