R. Gonzalez. This seminar is an introduction to the field of Latin American modern architecture and will introduce students to projects that range from newly constructed cities like Brasilia to avant-garde experimental projects like Mathias Georitz’s “El Eco†in Mexico City. Focusing on various themes (nationalism, internationalism, tropicalism, utopianism, etc.), the seminar introduces key terms and examples in the built environment. Latin American modern architecture presents alternative examples-“other modernismsâ€-to the mainstream modern projects of the United States and Europe. The notion of the “avant-garde in the tropics†suggests a critique of how “the tropics†has often been treated as a synechdoche, as a representation of all of Latin America. A critical reconsideration of “the tropics†will occur as we study modern Latin American architecture’s specific thematic currents. Satisfies: [E]

I. Berman. This seminar focuses on the constitutive and mutually defining relations between the human body and architecture and the shifting theoretical frame that has governed the development of their relations. From the Vitruvian body to Le Corbusier’s Modular Man and technologically machined ergonomic bodies of modern architecture, there has always existed a coordination between variant cultural and theoretical constructions of the body and changing spatial and architectural models. Although the emphasis of this seminar will be on more recent conceptions of the body-architecture relation—how we understand, represent and inhabit the body and hence, how we conceptualize, construct and inhabit space—it will also provide a historical/theoretical context, against which these newer models might be investigated and developed.
