Description: This course will consider certain key relationships between film, architecture and the city in the 20th century. Our point of departure will be the claim that since well before the birth of enlightenment thought, Western spatial practices have had an insistently narrative, sequential, and scopic character that has only become more pronounced with the arrival of new media and related technologies in the 19th century. The course will operate as a seminar in which both student and instructor will offer presentations, coordinate discussions, and actively participate in class dialogues. Graduate/Undergraduate Equivalency: ARCH 624. Repeatable for Credit.
