SCHINDLER, SARAH. “Architectural Exclusion: Discrimination And Segregation Through Physical Design Of The Built Environment.” Yale Law Journal 124.6 (2015): 1934-2024. Academic Search Complete. Web. 5 Feb. 2016.

Associate Professor of Law at the University of Maine, Sarah Schindler, constructed an article named Architectural Exclusion: Discrimination and Segregation Through Physical Design of the Built Environment that discusses how the “built environment” targets minority groups in our society today. Schindler uses Atlanta, Georgia’s Metro Atlanta Regional Transit Authority (MARTA) as evidence of how “architectural exclusion” works in city transit. Schindler’s main goal throughout the article is to inform scholars and legal scholars who have influence have influence on built environment cases, that these environments are in fact forms of regulation. This article is useful, because it draws a parallel between Atlanta’s Marta and architectural exclusion.

  1. Nicely done. I wonder… If you were going to write a paper about “architectural exclusion” and Atlanta, and you wanted to reference this source, would you have to go back and re-read it? What if you included a few key quotations in this AB, cited… Would that cut down your time integrating the source into your argument?
