The seminar focuses on the history of modern architecture and architectural theories, from the Industrial Revolution to the present. Through in-depth examination of weekly case studies, students will be studying a number of influential designs in modern times as well as literatures and ideas that have been particularly important to debates and discussions in the field. Case studies include historical and contemporary buildings, as well as museum’s architectural installations, plans and ideas of urban design, and unrealized architectural projects.
