Introduction to the primary projective systems that form the foundations of architectural representation and serve as essential tools of formal analysis and design. Coursework will be derived from a structured examination of key primary sources by Gaspard Monge, Brook Taylor and Girard Desargues.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Acquaints students with the best that has been known and built between the years 1690 and 1870 and focuses on a series of designs and/or buildings in relation to distinct cultural and critical contexts. "Best" is defined by the ability to sustain historical and theoretical debate and to enact conceptual migrations across diverse fields of inquiry. Emphasizes the role of architecture in new institutional forms and the reconfiguration of urban, industrial, and pastoral landscapes. The emergence of historicism as an organizing theme prompts a self-critical attempt to undo the narrative continuities of the traditional architecture survey course.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course examines the intellectual origins of postmodernism in architecture through close studies of those architects who first dared to confront history as an intellectual problem and not merely as a stylistic question, including Labatut, Rogers, Moore, Norberg-Schulz, Frampton, Rykwert, Alexander and others. The course also explores how these architects interpreted the work of thinkers such as Bergson, Maritain, Ricoeur, Merleau-Ponty, Heidegger, Arendt, Gadamer, and Bachelard. It analyzes the causes for the momentous transformation of architectural discourse that took place in the 1960s and 1970s, including the birth of what we now

Seminar explores the building envelope as the intersection between environmental, iconographic and territorial concerns. As the limit between inside/outside, natural/artificial, private/public, the building envelope is a key political subject. By analyzing the building envelope, the course identifies a ground on which to re-empower the discipline as a transformative force in the reorganization of the contemporary ecologies of power.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
The carrying out of architectural services goes beyond design and involves an obligation to the public, to clients, to peers and employees. This course deals with the contracts, specifications, technical documentation, project management and construction administration phases of the architectural services.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Review and analysis of the dynamics and process inherent in starting, developing, managing and operating an architectural practice, including marketing, finance, human resources, project process, liability, insurance, and general management.

-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
A review of the development of Kahn's conceptual framework, works, pedagogical standing, and contemporary critical reviews against the parallel development of the ideology and compositional modes of architecture and urbanism from before World War II to the early seventies. Course also reviews the characteristic line of progress in Kahn's office work discipline, and examines the philosophical position that set him apart from the dominant development of the 'late' moderns.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course is an advanced pro-seminar that will examine the spatial histories and representational forms of the modern city. Students will read architectural, urban and theoretical texts and conduct individual research on how spatial theory affects the manner in which cities and architectural forms have been written about, envisioned and built.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course on digital media infrastructure will explore breaking technologies of fabrication, modeling and design based on production pipelines pioneered by the film and gaming industries--pipelines we will author in CATIA, McNeel's Rhino/Grasshopper, and Bentley's Generative Components. A series of formal experiments will be carried out each culminating in the fabrication of rapid prototypes using the CNC mill and the InVision 3D printer, explicitly challenging conventional modes of practice and seeking insight into new forms of organization, techniques and operative procedures.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
The seminar frames the saga of the Russian avant-garde in a broad historical perspective. Lectures will present the main issues typical of Russian architecture production, against the background of 20th century history. During the second part of the class, students will analyze specific designs, buildings or discourses, in echo to the issues introduced in the lecture, with particular attention to Western reception and discussion, from Bruno Taut, Le Corbusier, Erich Mendelsohn, Hannes Meyer and Frank Lloyd Wright to Aldo Rossi, Anatole Kopp, Manfredo Tafuri, and Rem Koolhaas.
