This subject approaches the understanding of diverse cultural spaces through contemporary theories of interpretation. Current and influential interpretations of various cultural spaces, especially those shaped by the world's major religions and by non-European peoples, are presented. Through a series of lectures, seminars and interpretive projects, students are introduced to the diversity of spatial understandings that inform different cultures, both across the world and within a multicultural society. The challenges and possibilities for design within a multicultural world are discussed and engaged with.
