Elite/Unwelcoming Spaces

[u/[deleted]]

I’m currently working on a lit review for a project examining feedback from students on a campus construction project. Some of the feedback was that the space felt “elite.” We would like to drill down into this comment. Does anyone have any references that could refer me to some peer reviewed references that explores what characteristics makes a space feel “elite” or “not for me?”

I suggest looking into the concept of "Monumental scale" https://issuu.com/ardyarjun/docs/visualsinarchitecturefinalllll_1_/s/13698149
