Elie Boutros

Fall 2017 seminar: B.Arch. candidate, architecture

Born and raised in Lebanon, Boutros is currently a fifth-year student in the B.Arch. program, pursuing a concentration in architecture, culture, and society. He has been focusing His studies on challenging architecture's obsession with being apolitical and neutral. Boutros hopes to use architecture as a tool to reveal conflict in all of its forms, enabling its resolution, rather than repressing it with the typical, impotent, "pacifist" approach of denial and unaccountability.
