As discussions of “returning” lands to the dispossessed become more widespread, questions arise about whether land can ever be considered, managed, or inhabited as a “gift.” What cultural and architectural practices arise when land is valued outside of market capital? Ana Maria León and Łukasz Stanek report from contemporary architectural examples in Ghana and Chile.
Speakers: Łukasz Stanek (University of Michigan) Ana María León (Harvard GSD) Response by Jacobé Huet (University of Chicago)
