Margin and Text

A broad range of diverse voices in architecture discuss issues of equity, access, and social justice embedded in and related to the built environment. Margin and Text is a collection of essays, interviews, and personal stories, as well as historical and current writings and lectures, contributed by BIPOC and female practitioners and educators in architecture. Each piece offers reflections on architecture’s troubled past, commentary on its fluid present, and visions of possible futures, all set amid today’s context of broad social activism, divisive politics, and the devastating toll of the COVID-19 pandemic. Edited by architecture educators Betsy West, Kelly Carlson-Reddig, and José L.
