  • RBST 3400: Design Urbanism

    3.00 Credits
    Tulane University of Louisiana

    A. Lewis. Though the use of seminal writings on urban design ideology presented by architects and historians in the 20th century such as Bacon, Lynch, Koolhaas and Gandelsonas, students will be challenged to consider these significant foundations in order to apply a broader awareness of urbanism to their own architectural design process. Concurrently, methodologies of research and analysis that employ both conceptual and intuitive systems of investigation will be exercised as a critical means of observing, documenting and communicating about the city and the architecture that contributes to its form.

  • RBST 3410: Interpretive Urban Design

    3.00 Credits
    Tulane University of Louisiana

    G. Mouton. This course will examine the concept of interpretive issues within the traditional downtown urban design framework today. Interpretive issues within traditional city cores have become a major part of cultural, economic development in city design. Within the retrenchment of traditional downtown retail to suburban malls, cultural development has become a principle economic tool in re-establishing critical mass in the downtown. Satisfies: [E]

  • RBST 4300: Designs on Los Angeles: 20th-century Architecture, Urban Planning, and Metropolitan Imagery in the Making of America’s “Second City”

    3.00 Credits
    Tulane University of Louisiana

    C. Reese. Investigates the particular role that twentieth-century architecture and urban planning played in creating Los Angeles’s current image as a pre-eminent metropolitan node of design arts. This course will establish political, economic, geographic, and ecological contexts for twentieth-century architecture and urban design in L. A. through the study of not only built works and executed plans, but also visionary, unrealized projects. These works of architecture and urbanism will be studied against the background of other contemporaneous modes of Los Angeles artistic endeavor in fiction, music, dance, graphic arts, photography, and film, as well as in landscape and garden design.

  • RBST 4400: “Tribal” New Orleans

    3.00 Credits
    Tulane University of Louisiana

    C. Reese. This seminar course will introduce students not only to the urban history of New Orleans, but also to current theoretical perspectives on the writing (construction) of the histories of cities. New Orleans will be studied from the earliest European settlements in the metropolitan area (Bayou St. John and Bayou Gentilly), to the challenges of the present, highlighting topographical, economic, and social factors in the city’s growth. Our broad interest will be the city’s evolving urban form and its architectural dimensions, focusing on the distinct ways in which the city has provided an arena for constructing what some urban theorists have described as “tribal†identities through the shaping of the urban fabric. We will examine, therefore, the settlement patterns and built environments of French, Spanish, American, African American, Irish, German, Guatemalan, Vietnamese, and other residents in order to reflect upon social spatialization in the city and upon the city as a representation of the ever-changing society that constructs it.

  • RBST 6400: Architecture and the Contemporary City

    3.00 Credits
    Tulane University of Louisiana

    Staff. This seminar will examine the relationship between contemporary culture, urbanism, and the practice of architecture, and how the changing conditions of the contemporary city provoke responses in avant-garde practices. Various topics (Freedom and Control, Place and Placelessness, Superficiality, Synthetic Landscapes, Formlessness, Voids, Automatic Urbanism, Dematerialized Urbanism, etc.) will be studied as a way of exploring the changing nature of the contemporary city and how political and social transformations generate theoretical discourses on architecture and the city. Referencing art, film, and cultural criticism, we will investigate a series of hypotheses concerning the current and future context of architecture. Satisfies: [E]

  • RBST 6410: Urban Analysis + Design

    3.00 Credits
    Tulane University of Louisiana

    I. Berman. The urban fabric, as a historical, collective form of architectural expression, is an integration of cultural artifacts and infrastructure: aesthetic, technological, environmental, social and political forms and systems that when overlaid, become a representation of the ideological structures of the societies that build and reside in them. This course will initially trace the history of the modern city as a backdrop to the investigation of contemporary urban positions that have emerged in the latter half of the 20th century including Archigram’s nomadic cities, Venturi and Scott Brown’s Las Vegas, Koolhaas’s Delirious New York, Tschumi’s Manhattan Transcripts, Eisenman’s Cities of Artificial Excavation, and more contemporary examples such as the artificial landscapes of the Netherlands by West 8 and the IFCCA proposals for Manhattan’s west side.

  • RBST 6420: US Architecture and Urbanism

    0.00 Credits
    Tulane University of Louisiana

    C. Reese. Undertakes focused historical studies of selected urban environments to emphasize the contributions that architecture and urban design make to conceptions of place. We will ask how buildings and their urban contexts function in the formation of communal identities and in the expression of cultural values. We will interpret the concept ‘urban’ broadly to include settlement, village, town, city, suburb, megalopolis, and utopia. Students will not only examine the role of the prominent designers in shaping urban identities, but they will also analyze the significance of the vernacular built environment in creating images of place. Additional assigned readings of key critiques will provoke group discussion of vital contemporary issues, from the ideology of preservation, to the concept of regionalism, and to the philosophy of socially engaged design practice.This is a Service Learning course with approximately 30 hours of guided community service through a placement with the Preservation Resource Center.
