The human race continuously builds, shapes, and reshapes its environment. We populate the land with construction; we erect structures to block and to manipulate natural forces. Most of our experiences are within our own built environments. Even our communication systems are constructed.
On KU’s campus, every day we move in and out of large, heavy, complex structures. Yet, they don’t feel heavy, or do they?
We invite you to investigate the weight of what we build and the meanings they represent for us.
