DESCRIPTION:Ever since the concept of human rights crystallized with the ei
 ghteenth century people’s revolutions around the world\, it has implicitly
  become a reference point in discussions about space. Despite challenges f
 rom skeptics and authors with different moral philosophical convictions\, 
 the concept of human rights continues to be relevant today for commitments
  to rectify injustice and ensure equality\, or political actions to protec
 t human dignity\, enable participatory democracy and foster reparatory jus
 tice. This lecture foregrounds relations between human rights and architec
 ture. It concentrates on the related concept of transitional justice that 
 emerged as accountability for large scale past abuses came to the forefron
 t of grassroots human rights movements and entered the lexicon of internat
 ional law in the 2000s. The lecture defines architecture’s role in an exte
 nded notion of transitional justice and in healing societies after intense
  upheavals and internal conflicts. It projects on architectural programs o
 f reparation by defining a healing space as one where political harm is co
 nfronted.\n\n\n	Esra Akcan is Michael McCarthy Professor in the Department 
 of Architecture at Cornell University. Her research on modern and contempo
 rary architecture and urbanism foregrounds the intertwined histories of Eu
 rope and West Asia\, and offers new ways to understand architecture’s role
  in global\, social and environmental justice. Akcan received awards and f
