This seminar introduces a global survey of the spaces of law, with attention to the many ways architecture has shaped modern legal concepts that we take for granted today. Among other questions, we will ask: How is legal ideology shaped by the spatial arrangements of the courthouse? How does architecture frame legal evidence? How has the historical development of state-sanctioned punishment been reflected in urban space or architectural form? How has legal authority been reflected or produced by the design of legal space?

What does it mean for a letter to support physical weight? For a word to overtake a building? For a sentence to be planted in the ground? In Sculptural Poetics, we will create dimensional text-work and examine the history of poetic linguistic expression. How can language be made physical? How can words levitate, press, dissolve, disrupt, and productively confuse existing boundaries? Using a wide variety of processes including casting, textiles, woodworking, video projection, and performance, we will create textual interventions both inside and beyond the studio.

Utopian visions are historical artifacts. Arguably, in articulating a vision of the perfect life, utopian thinkers and social experimenters always tell us something important about "the anxieties and discontents amidst which they are produced" as well as deep aspirations of their place and age (H.G Wells, 1939). We'll test that argument in this course by situating a selection of nineteenth and early twentieth century American utopian communities within the contexts of their economic and social history.

This course provides an introduction to business and organizational economics and analytics and to broad business organization topics. Solutions to business and organization challenges necessarily include technological, social, environmental, and political components, as well as financial and market components. Profitability, sustainability, and success are not so easily achieved by simple marginal pricing models. We want to learn more about this greatly expanded view of managerial decision-making through a socio-economic lens.
