Impact of Architecture on Social Thought

Can the design of physical spaces influence political thought?

Architects have the power to shape our social interactions by creating spaces that can be tall, wide, open, confined, with or without views.

This is why winners stand on the highest podium, bosses occupy large offices, and heads of families sleep in master bedrooms and sit at the head of the table.

Let's think:

  • How does the design of physical spaces impact our social dynamics?
  • What are some ways that power is manifested in different spatial configurations?
  • Can we intentionally design spaces to create more egalitarian social structures?
