architecture - 2022
Designed environment. Buildings, parks, bridges. Highways – designed passages that shepherd people to certain locations.
Architectural projects are often physically large, and take up significant amounts of space that are controlled by powerful governing bodies. The existence of architecture can reveal large scale societal planning efforts concocted by these powerful bodies. Dated architecture, for example, can stick out visually. It may remind us of seasons past, forgotten cultural ideals, wars waged.
Our material world is one of winners and losers.
