The Aesthetics of Equality: Object Orientated Ontology and Social Theory

This session of the J. Irwin Miller Symposium, “Aesthetic Activism” offers a re-evaluation of the relationship between architecture and social theory; evaluates the role of beauty in how the public understands architecture; discovers interdisciplinary connections that can inform architectural design; and reconsiders the relationship between interconnectivity and architecture.
