Architectural curricula are slowly shifting towards a better recognition of the importance of addressing climate change. Simultaneously, there is a growing awareness of social justice movements. Strangely, environmental crises and social justice movements are considered separate issues. Architects are being pressured to address one of these issues as if being environmentally conscious may only be so for privileged communities, and as if socially conscious architecture may fail to address the environmental factors that are often compounded by racism, xenophobia, and classism. However, if architects understand social justice and environmental justice as the same pursuit, as well as their role in that pursuit, they can better respond to their ecological, communal, and historical context.The perceived separation between environmentally and socially conscious architecture must be derived from pervasive but distorted concepts. This thesis book brings to the fore several relevant questions: In the realm of environmental design, what is “natural,” what is “wilderness,” who/what is to blame for the climate crisis, and in what ways are particular communities vulnerable? Regarding social justice in architecture, why are environmental concerns relegated to the background, despite the fact that these concerns are critical indicators of how other systemic problems are compounded in marginalized communities? An architecture that is successful in addressing the complexities of social and environmental justice is one that results from holding both methodologies at once. An architecture that serves its community and its environment without sacrificing one for the other is a just architecture. This thesis book includes design projects and seminar papers that attempt to conceive environmental and social justice together.
