Designing Social Equality: Architecture, Aesthetics, and the Perception of Democracy

Gage proposes a dramatic realignment between aesthetic thought, politics, social equality and the design of our physical world. He sets out to reconfigure a more encompassing social theory of how humanity perceives its very reality and how it might begin to more justly define that reality through new ways of reconsidering the built environment.
