The Case for Beauty in the Built Environment: Why Humanitarian Aid without Aesthetics Fails
2025-10-08 09:00 - 10:00
Foundations and Field Evidence

In crisis settings, urgent needs take precedence—but what role might beauty play in helping people rebuild and feel at home again?

This opening session of the ‘Beauty, Art, Belonging & the Neuroscience of Place’ webinar series lays the foundation for rethinking beauty as a core component of safety, healing, and belonging. Home Ground Lab co-founders introduce their framework for beauty as essential infrastructure, drawing from both research and refugee-led practice. Alongside insights from UN-Habitat Afghanistan’s post-conflict housing work and a time for Q&A, the session brings together field evidence, lived experience, and emerging neuroscience.

Participants are invited to consider how the built environment can either deepen harm or support recovery. Together, we’ll explore how beauty, too often dismissed as a luxury, may in fact be vital to restoring dignity and coherence in the aftermath of crisis.

About the series: Beauty, Art, Belonging & the Neuroscience of Place

Co-hosted by Home Ground Lab & Clark University’s Integration & Belonging Hub

Can beauty help people heal? Rebuild? Belong?

This three-part webinar series explores how beauty, art, and design intersect with neuroscience, dignity, and resilience—especially in contexts of displacement, housing insecurity, and humanitarian response. From refugee camps and post-disaster neighborhoods to communities painting their way back to belonging, this series reveals a radical truth: Beauty is not a luxury. Beauty is infrastructure. Each session brings together global experts in neuroaesthetics, refugee leaders, urban designers, and humanitarian practitioners.

Associate Professor and Interim Director in the School of Geography, Development and Environment at the University of Arizona

Illegality and the transformation of low-wage labor regimes in the context of rural gentrification

Over the last three decades, domestic amenity or “lifestyle” migration has stimulated a process of rural gentrification across the United States, shifting landscapes of production to landscapes of consumption—from Jackson Hole, Wyoming to Highlands, North Carolina. This talk draws on her recently published book, Illegality and the Production of Affluence: Undocumented Labor and Gentrification in Rural America. In that project Dr. Nelson investigates an under-appreciated dimension of rural gentrification: the recruitment of low-wage, mostly undocumented Latine immigrant workers essential to building and maintaining gentrifying landscapes and lifestyles. Dr. Nelson’s presentation focuses on the emergence and consolidation of immigrant-based labor regimes in two case study communities between the late 1990s and late 2000s, Steamboat Springs, CO and Rabun County, GA, drilling down into qualitative data that illustrate how and why employers in gentrification-linked sectors recruited what was an unfamiliar labor force in both places. Dr. Nelson traces how, over time, employers transformed their fundamental business model to reach new levels of profitability predicated on access to racially marked, “illegal” workers. Finally, Dr. Nelson discusses how these labor regimes shaped life and work for immigrant newcomers navigating rural landscapes of affluence.
