Abstract
There was a time when physical spaces were designed for the explicit purpose of assembly. Spaces such as the Greek Agora or Roman Forum were the heart of public life. Here, meaning outside of self could be located; cultural, social and political forms of life could be created and expressed. Today, our physical structures are more likely to support assembly for capitalistic ventures than broader social good.
