Part 1

In Sarah Schindler piece ” Architectural Exclusion: Discrimination and segregation through physical design of the built environment.” she mainly talked about man made built objects which are physical features that are put in placental certain individuals mainly poor people how hard it is to access certain areas than the majority group. In 1974 the city of Memphis closed off the street that connected an all white neighborhood to primarily white one. The U.S supreme court did not find any wrong doing with the shut down of the street in 1974 in the city of Memphis. The beginning of the article talked about how built environments has made a major effect on today’s society, such as the MARTA systems, Highways, and bridges. How built environment have kept colored people and poor people separated. Architectural and regulation have played a huge part as well how a environment looks may have a person thinking that is how it generally is made and it does not hold any value when it was made.For example “one might think it a simple aesthetic design decision to create a park bench that is divided into three individual seats with armrests separating those seats. Yet the bench may have been created this way to prevent people often homeless people from lying down and taking naps.” (Schindler par 12) Everyday people are adjusting theirs selves to the built environment that is generally made for a purpose that people have to adjust their self to not knowing it was made this particular way for a reason.
