Noticing the Neglected: Public Architecture, Perfect Days, and Perspectives on Equity

"Noticing the Neglected: Public Architecture, Perfect Days, and Perspectives on Equity" examines the neglected through in-depth study of the 2023 Wim Wenders film "Perfect Days": neglected architecture, neglected literary tropes, neglected music—but most importantly, neglected people. The symposium investigates inequities faced by members of our society - such as the unhoused, women, and youth. It brings to light issues of equity and social justice by considering how the built environment as well as filmic, literary and auditory contexts can support expressions of dignity for all in our society.
