ARC254   Humanities 54   (10 credits)

Description

ARC 254 links the production of architectures through buildings with the production of knowledge through research, with a particular overall focus on the human condition. In 10 lectures and 10 research seminars, this module investigates the development of architecture and architectural thinking along with the different forms of organisation of architectural practice. Lectures and seminars will examine the emergence of new building typologies in the mid nineteenth century, as well as the big issues that architecture is facing today. Lectures will focus on the critical aspects of each `issue¿ whilst research seminars will link this perspective to contemporary research through a discussion of the contemporary dimension.
