Searching for Equity in Design
September 8, 2022
Design Schools often work with communities to develop tailored solutions to address community needs and curricular responsibilities to prepare students for practice in increasingly more diverse cities. In this lecture, Prof. Chiessa, Assistant Professor of Architecture at The University of Texas at Arlington, will present research, speculative projects, and built work conducted in the design studio and in private practice that explores issues of identity, representation, and equity in underserved, underrepresented, and underinvested communities of color. Focusing on the Latinx community, the presentation traces the ancestral roots of this community in Latin America to understand the impact this migration has on established Latinx and transitioning neighborhoods.
