In my Architecture 252 course, Cultural and Social Issues in Design, a group of three other women and I completed an assignment in which we reported on a particular topic related to the course. We choose Architect Barbie feeling that it was most controversial and that we all had enjoyed playing with Barbie's when we were younger so we could relate to the subject. If you click the image to the right you can find our finished document which was printed on a 24x36" board and displayed in the College of Architecture and Planning.
