Title: Topics in Contemporary Architectural Theory: Kissing Architecture
Description: Course explores and solicits contact between architecture and other types of visual practice, argues that architecture has consistently propelled itself through its embrace of other cultural forms, and examines how most key moments in the advancement of 20th century architecture are related to the conceptual and material friction generated by contact between architecture and other mediums. Course constructs a genealogy for contemporary architecture by examining the history and theory of medium specificity, tracing the dissolution of material specificity into notions of discipline.
