| Description |
Acquaints students with the best that has been known and built between the years 1690 and 1870 and focuses on a series of designs and/or buildings in relation to distinct cultural and critical contexts. "Best" is defined by the ability to sustain historical and theoretical debate and to enact conceptual migrations across diverse fields of inquiry. Emphasizes the role of architecture in new institutional forms and the reconfiguration of urban, industrial, and pastoral landscapes. The emergence of historicism as an organizing theme prompts a self-critical attempt to undo the narrative continuities of the traditional architecture survey course. |
