- Suggest Revision
Full-time
- This reality challenges designers, planners and historians to better understand and interpret the root causes of social disparities that are too often veiled by the apolitical language of formalist architectural theories and neoliberal models of urban development.
- In order to promote planning and design approaches that can address our most pressing needs and challenges, we must learn to ground new speculations in a nuanced interpretation of the cultural practices that embody the diverse sets of historical knowledge, creative abilities, and lived experiences contained within the Americas.
- The Land, Space and Identity in the Americas Fellowship offers a position to support the professional development of a scholar whose research or design work examines the changing relationship between social identity, placemaking and the built environment in the Americas, past, present or future.
- We are interested in innovative or activist approaches to design, research, and their histories that pluralize our understanding of the function of space in the built environment.
- The UTSOA has a long history of considering the role of design thinking in the Americas, from the establishment of its Center for American Architecture and Design (CAAD) to the sponsoring of study abroad programs, design studios and planning practicums in Latin America, and history seminars on American material culture.
