| Description |
The landscape idea in Latin American architecture, visual and verbal arts, is an immediately political, social and historical one. There is a history of Latin American landscapes, including the landscape of modernism, of development, of revolution, and of (post)dictatorship. The purpose of the seminar is to bring out this historicity of the landscape-form, both in its material manifestations and its representations. Following a theoretical overview of some of the main concepts, we will work through a series of concrete examples from Latin American architecture, visual arts (including film) and literature. |
