Architecture, Technology, and the Environment: Exercises in Style

This seminar will introduce the students to research techniques from Science and Technology Studies (STS) that will equip them with analytical and narrative tools to make sense of technological developments in cities, innovation, design success and failure, and object-oriented politics. Through a series of "ateliers d'écriture", the students will engage in exercises in different styles of academic writing, experiment with various research techniques and hone their critical thinking skills based on introspection, tracing and observation of design experiences and urban processes.
