This book of three Kahn Visiting Assistant Professors at Yale School of Architecture includes the projects of Chris T. Cornelius focusing on "Decolonizing Indigenous Housing"; Abeer Seikaly "Conscious Skins"
on materiality, making, and place; and Rodney Leon for a concept for a National Slavery Memorial in Washington, D.C. as a basis for redefining the memorial in general. The projects examined the larger cultural, political, and ideological issues on their sites with local communities and consciousness, materiality and craft, as ways to amplify inhabiting the land and the related social and spatial issues.
