This course will reconstitute the inside of architecture by considering the history of thinking about the interior, reflecting theoretically on its role in the architectural discipline and its contemporary reformulation, and speculating on the interior¿s potential as a model for both design and as object of scholarly inquiry. This historical activism is best generated by considering the interior of the 1960s, the period in which disciplines and fields dissipated and expanded almost beyond recognition, creating a shifting cultural terrain that ruptured the geographies of conventional systems of practice and production.

0.00 - 4.00 Credits
The potential of computer generated form is inexhaustible - this surplus of potential form will be regarded as a provocative to develop new synthetics, rigid and flexible composites and new hybrids of traditional building materials which may provide a context for a new architectural discourse. Working with algorithm, diagram and ideas of self-organization and non-linear sequence, this course explores the production of new materials (and their effects) within the context of the ecological and econimic systems to which they relate.

0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Geometry has dominated design representation and computational models for years. Many of the challenges related to the need to reduce the use of resources require novel models for computational design, reaching beyond geometry only. Scientific data visualization has progressed using computation for capturing complex phenomena in visual form. Architecture faces almost the reverse problem in shaping complex process through design. This advanced seminar will challenge the participants to develop novel design models in a computational design context.

0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Seminar examines the varying attitudes of architectural historians towards the uses and abuses of historical concepts and the very nature of historical time, as opposed to a linear survey of the various histories of architecture. Issues discussed include historicism, anachronism, revival, "prehistory," and post-historie. Close reading of five architectural historians: Sigfried Gideion, Bruno Zevi, Reyner Banham, Manfredo Tafuri and Robin Evans, plus a number of collateral readings from psychoanalysis, intellectual history and critical theory.

An introduction to selected periods and works of art and architecture from the Renaissance to the present as well as an introduction to the discipline of art history. Two lectures, one preceptorial.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Explores the conceptual character of medieval European art from late Antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages with an emphasis on methodological, historiographical, and theoretical issues. Using selected monuments and objects from a wide geographical range and dating from the 4th to the 14th centuries as case studies, students will familiarize with the methodological developments of art historical research. The course will particularly focus on the "anthropological turn" of medieval art history and medieval image theory.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course surveys painting and sculpture in Europe ca. 1580-1780. An examination of major artists and trends in their social, cultural and political settings. Close attention to works of art in lectures and in museums in Princeton and New York.

Artists and works of art will be presented, whenever possible and relevant, within their cultural, political, social, technological and/or economic circumstances. Among the major artists to be studied: Giotto, Ghiberti, Donatello, Masaccio, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
