Education as the Everyday

Dougherty, Megan M

Abstract Details

2015, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Architecture.
Architecture is often thought of as the monumental and the grand that is only experienced in special circumstances; however, architecture also encompasses a majority of buildings that people come in contact with every day. This architecture of the everyday is seen as ordinary and banal, but it can provide the opportunity for extraordinary moments. Everyday architecture can instill pride and help create an identity for both the people who confront it daily and the surrounding neighborhood. People define themselves by the everyday tasks that they perform: going to the coffee shop, taking their children to school, going to work, etc. and the architecture of the everyday can play a significant role in the day to day life of the people. The architecture of the everyday can be a catalyst of social change through careful programming that combines everyday activities with educational and vocational skill training.
