ARCH H225 History and Theory of Architecture III
The last in a series of three interrelated courses, this course examines architectural history and theory from 1945 to the present through built projects, drawings, and theoretical texts. The course examines architecture in relation to the historical forces at work after World War II, culminating by discussing the state of the discipline in the 21st century. Topics covered include Late-Modernism, Postmodernism (including its proponents and discontents), The Autonomy Project, Structuralism/Post-Structuralism, Virtuality, Pragmitism/Post-Criticality, as well as recent debates on Globalization, Post-Humanism, and Environmentalism. Both Western and Non-Western examples will be discussed.
