September 23, 2022How can architecture redefine our perception of history to include the voices of the silenced and the experiences of the powerless?
In April of 2021, the dedication of the Memorial for Enslaved Laborers was the culmination of an 11-year student-driven movement to recognize the more than 4,000 enslaved people who built and maintained the campus of the University of Virginia.

Rupp Professor of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at Columbia University, and Glenn LaRue Smith, FSLA, Co-Founder and Design Director of PUSH Studio, have a conversation about her work on the Memorial and the ability of architecture to challenge tradition and redefine history.
