Abstract

Architecture, especially architecture in public spaces, raises moral issues about spatial racism that should be addressed by Christian ethicists. Racial injustices concerning architecture and public space include segregation, spatial racism, and artistic and design features that reinforce racial hierarchies. This essay first explains why architecture and public space are important concerns for Christian ethics. Then, it argues that the doctrine of creation provides justification for Christians to address these concerns by remaking and restoring the built environment through acts of creation that include adopting inclusive, community-based practices in design, and making architecture and art for public spaces that support black life and flourishing.
