This class provides an introduction to the study of the built
environment from a rhetorical perspective. The course explores the
persuasive dimensions of places and spaces built by human beings. It
examines how buildings, theme parks, university campuses, monuments,
museums, and even national parks are the product of strategic
communication choices designed to influence how we think and behave.



Some examples of buildings/locations we'll study include-

… Indiana University and its campus plan

… Disney theme parks

… "Celebration" Florida

… The Mall of America

… Utopian communities

… Colonial Williamsburg

… Mail order houses

… Pullman, Illinois

… Levittown

… And much much more!
