| Course Objectives: | This course aims to analyze the writings and buildings of key architects in comparison to each other within the historical trajectory of modernism and postmodernism. Throughout the course, simultaneous study of architecture in written and built forms will enable students to understand basic interrelations between the processes of thinking and writing on architecture and designing buildings. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; I. develop a critical approach to building analysis that is not only based on formal analysis but on textual analysis of buildings as well II. explore the ways in which idiosyncrasies, design theories and architectural discourse interact III. understand the value and effects of various types of intellectual production on professional practices IV. examine the writings and buildings of key architects in a comparative analysis with a revised look at the historical trajectory of modernism and postmodernism |
| Architects in the 20th century have shaped the history and theory of architecture through their writings as much as their buildings. Adolf Loos, Le Corbusier, Alvar Aalto, Louis Kahn, Robert Venturi, Rem Koolhaas and Peter Zumthor are only a few critical figures to name. This course aims to analyze the writings and the buildings of key figures in parallel to each other, and thus, to examine the ways in which idiosyncrasies, design theories and architectural discourse interact. |
