o examine the impact of differences of physical spaces on what transpires in the classroom, we focus our attention on four groups of variables: classroom activities, content delivery modes, instructor behavior, and student behavior.
Pretty interesting. I feel like this is a very uncommonly thought about topic, I had never considered these categories.
The clearest visual markers of sex difference many of us see in the course of the day are the signs on public bathroom entrances: MEN on one door, WOMEN on the other.
I think the first topic sentence in the article does a sufficient job at highlighting what the whole article is about. It is straight to the point and intrigues me to read more. Since they stated this so early, it makes me want to read what more the article could possibly say.
Over time, women have become attached to the camaraderie of the ladies’ room. When girlfriends want to chat, they head there.
How did this start?
But it can also have a compulsory aspect — it’s a word that involves moving over to make room for other people, whether you want to or not.
"move over" - makes it seem like it is an inconvenience for transgender people to need this change to happen
Making people feel accommodated—whether it’s in a public space or office—parallels the bigger conversation about universal design.
Making people feel accommodated is one of the United States biggest problems today. How do they deal with change when people are so used to a certain way of living and believing?
self-representational architecture is a visualization of human connection to space.
How does self-representational architecture affect society and the social aspect of it?
Seeking out peace in the tunnel by expecting fear of the unknown to prevent criminals from following the tunnel dwellers partially defines the psychological relationship the inhabitants have with space.
What exactly is an inhabitants fear with space?
have attempted to implement this kind of rhetorical approach in my own classroom, although the project is ongoing and far from perfect.
However, we can imagine a dif-ferent kind of investment and care that is habituated in the work of inquiry, not in the work of feeling.
Such a task is not possible, nor is it desirable.

rhetorical pedagogy as helping students to forge real relationships with publics and counterpublics.

However, there is a trend among some legal scholars toward using architecture as a metaphor, demonstrating a fledgling appreciation of its power to structure
I completely agree with how architecture can act as a metaphor to how people feel and act. I never though about how architecture played a role in how people act socially until now, and it has changed how I think about things. There are things that divide us, and things that bring us together in communities. For instance, where I am from (CT) we do not have any parks, closing off the ability to be able to interact with others. It continues to explain how a highway is a divider, and that a town that has a square increases integration. Logically I believe it makes sense that architecture does shape behavior.
Isn't this somewhat of a generalization?
However, there is a trend among some legal scholars toward using architecture as a metaphor, demonstrating a fledgling appreciation of its power to structure people’s lives. The metaphorical use of architecture implies an underlying recognition—foundational to planners and architects—that physical design regulates and that the built environment controls human behavior.
