New COD Gallery Exhibition:
Oppressive Infrastructures: Mapping Racism in the Built Environment
Brooks Hall Gallery, April-July
Course:
DIY Cartography, co-taught by Tania Allen and Sara Queen
Connected to an ongoing research project examining the history of equity in the built environment, this cross-disciplinary graduate level seminar uses techniques of mapping—analyzing and making meaning of raw data—as a comparative analytic tool and as a way to uncover hidden meanings between data and the built environment.
The class began by visualizing a 2020 data set from the Southern Poverty Law Center which compiled all confederate memorials in the US -- both standing and removed. The structural disparities of today overlaid with temporal and spatial patterns of memorial erection expose a palimpsest of institutionalized racism beginning in structures of slavery, reformulated through the segregationalist policies of the Jim Crow Era, and reinforced by the reactionary legislation and social practices spanning the Civil Rights Era to today. With these insights, students broadened their study to include the societal, economic and political structures that manifest and support systemic racism and ongoing oppression.

A group of students has taken the initiative to reexamine the floor of The Allred Gallery, which was originally inspired by Le Corbusier.
Today we are learning more about Corbusier’s ties to discriminatory groups and his values that do not align with the College of Design’s mission. We do not support Corbusier’s values, especially those of homophobia, misogyny, and fascism. The School of Architecture and College of Design strive to be a safe and inclusive space for all students.
This group of students has taken the initiative to rethink Allred Gallery to better reflect the values that our school represents. On March 30, a student-led charrette encouraged participants to redesign the space. More discussions about the floor will take place in the future. A statement from Dean Mark Hoversten can be found on the @ncstatedesign page.
