S2EP. 07 DSDHA - Spatial Justice

Architecture Academy
About this episode

What is spatial justice in architecture? What do we mean when we talk about spatial inequality and bias? In this episode we discuss DSDHA's research in collaboration with The London School of Architecture on spatial justice. We talk about removing statues in public spaces, forgotten communities, how marginalised groups can survive in the current economic climate, the future of museums and DSDHA's RIBA funded research into co-design.
