Description:

A survey of the intellectual origins, artistic concerns, and utopian programs of the Modern Movement in architecture. Focusing on the years between 1870 and 1950, we will investigate and number of issues including the relations of architecture to modernism in art (especially painting and sculpture), and the common responses of artists and architects to the industrialization and mechanization of Western society. The last section of the course will focus on the postwar American architecture, the International style, and on the dissemination and transformation of modernist art in the developing world outside Europe and the United States.
