Space and the Social Order.

Edelman, Murray

Journal of Architectural Education, v32 n2 p2-7 Nov 1978

Examples are cited to support the argument that structures and spaces, especially public buildings and spaces, establish and reaffirm hierarchies of values for society. These buildings and spaces define both goals and people as important or as expendable, and win support for the values of those groups that are already powerful. (JMD)
