ABSTRACT

This chapter, by Michael Carriere, foregrounds the voice of students in their education, telling the story of Columbia University architecture students’ early 1960s protests against university architecture projects seen as destructive of the neighboring communities as well as architecturally deadening. Beginning well before the student protests of 1968, the student movement described by Carriere highlights the extent to which architecture culture had changed by the late 1950s and the participation of students in the emergence of community design and planning.
