Topics in Contemporary Architectural Theory: Investigations

This seminar is a topic-based investigation of contemporary concerns situated at the intersection of architectural history, theory and design. Exploring how architectural technics have been brought to bear on matters of broad socio-cultural salience, particular emphasis is given to establishing relations between architecture and other knowledge domains, close readings of architectural structures, settings and media but also to identifying ways of engaging with the endless work of expanding the field. Final projects range from research papers to collaboratively produced exhibitions to experimental and project-based formats.
