Detroit Mercy’s School of Architecture & Community Development 2026 Dichotomy Lecture Series will host Shreya Vadrevu, who was featured in Dichotomy 28:RED, for a lecture titled “Who is the decolonial urban designer?”
The lecture will take place on Monday March 2, from 4:30-5:30 p.m. in the Warren Loranger Architecture Building Exhibition Space. All are welcome to attend this free event.
This presentation explores the complexities of post-colonial perspectives within urban design. Focusing on mixed methods of photography, counter-mapping and participatory documentation of public markets, the presentation asks an important question: What is the evolution of a decolonial urban designer?
Vadrevu is an urbanist and architectural designer, who holds a Master of Urban Design from the University of Michigan and a Bachelor of Architecture from PES University, Bengaluru. She currently works as an architectural designer in the K-12 education space and continues to work with Dystopia, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness about speciesism.
Dichotomy, a student-published journal of the Detroit Mercy School of Architecture & Community Development, strives to be the critical link to the discourse on design, architecture, urbanism and community development.
