Care and Violence: On Architectural Materials, Damage, and Repair
A lecture addressing the bodily and environmental impacts of building materials.
Meredith TenHoor is an architectural and urban historian, and Professor in the School of Architecture at Pratt Institute. Drawing on her latest research, TenHoor will address the bodily and environmental impacts of building materials in the 2024 James A.D. Cox lecture.
Meredith TenHoor's research examines how architecture, urbanism and landscape design participate in the distribution of resources, and how these design practices have produced understandings of the limits and capacities of bodies. She has written extensively about the relationships between food and agriculture and architectural, cultural and territorial change in twentieth-century France.
