Fall semester only; W 9:00-11:30am, Anderson Hall room 230
Small, focused, intermediate-level course in discussion, workshop and/or design-based format on topics related to current research in architecture.
The City is one of the prime subjects of interdisciplinary investigation. The City is an ancient project that has produced not just obvious physical evidence such as Agriculture, Architecture and Technologies, but an abundance of human organizations and life styles such as economies, governments, the American Dream, hospitals and universities; in other words a vast and daunting subject. This course will narrow the investigation to Architecture and the City by taking a particular view of the interconnections between the culture of cities and its architectural manifestations. These connections have over time produced a subfield known as urbanism and it is within this domain that a series of case studies of cities and architecture will be made.
Open to non-architecture majors, juniors and above. Space is limited and registration does not guarantee a space in this course.
