Listen "Introducing Built to Divide - LYNES Presents: Built to Divide"
Episode Synopsis
Built to Divide is a cinematic audio documentary that unearths how America’s homes became the front lines of inequality. From land giveaways to red lines, gated communities to algorithmic rent hikes—each episode reveals the forces that shaped not only where we live, but who gets to belong.Guided by host Dimitrius Lynch Jr., an award-winning architect with a storyteller’s eye for systems and design, this series traces how policy, psychology, and profit converged to build division into the very architecture of everyday life. Through vivid historical narratives, archival sound, and modern parallels, Built to Divide exposes how the dream of homeownership became both symbol and weapon—binding generations to debt, geography, and identity.Across twelve episodes, listeners journey from the dawn of land speculation to today’s algorithmic landlords, uncovering how the built environment reflects our deepest social divides—and what it will take to design something better.
