Adjunct Assistant Professor

Dexter Walcott is a registered architect and PhD candidate in Critical Studies of Architecture at The University of California Los Angeles. The working title of his dissertation is Superintending Capital and Labor: Architectural Practice and the Industrialization of the United States, 1844–1878. It’s a story about construction and architectural work at three sites in the middle decades of the nineteenth century—a steamboat construction company in Indiana, a textile mill development company in Massachusetts, and a federal armory in Virginia. It explores how architectural superintendency was necessary for the development of fixed capital and class formation, prior the professions’ consolidation and superintendency’s dissolution later in the century. Drawing on experience in architecture and social movements, Dexter is dedicated to developing students who can integrate the potential of design and the political-economic realities of construction with their roles as civic and social actors, so that they can collectively examine and improve their communities and fields.
