Description

[Contemporary; Modern] This course will introduce modern and postmodern architecture, examining new technologies in materials and construction, spatial organization, building design, style details and interior programming of 20th- and 21st-century Western architecture. Stylistic movements, intellectual and artistic origins, and major architects will be discussed, including the relation of architecture to art. Regional, national and international trends, and the reshaping of the environment and society by urban planning and landscape architecture, will be explored within the context of a social, political, economic and cultural history. Case studies of local buildings are designed to increase student awareness of local architecture and architectural resources.
