ARCH 422 - Theories of Architecture:Seminar

Institution:

Philadelphia University

Subject:

Description:

This seminar will focus on selected topics that characterize architectural theory during the "Modern" era - from the lat19th century to the present. As a historical survey of the fundamental principles which have shaped architectural thinking, the course will review, in a critical way, the major issues which have influenced both the meaning of and the practice of architecture during that time: the relationship of architects to their work and to the culture-at-large; the impact of technology and politics; and the spatial experience of a building. Theorists' critiques of contemporary practice will be emphasized, and current theories will be explored in an attempt to clarify an approach to the study and practice of architecture.
