Description: This course is an overview of modern architecture with reference to related issues in cultural modernity. The course will consider important work of the 19th and 20th century, although reference will be made to earlier material where it bears on the issues under discussion. The course begins with the claim that the architecture of modernity has historically been conceived and developed in relation to utopian ideals, and that architectural modernism cannot be adequately understood unless attention is paid to its various utopian and dystopian 'moments'.
