Long Title: BODIES OF KNOWLEDGE IN CONTEMPORARY AND LATE 20TH CENTURY ARCHITECTURE

Department: Architecture

Grade Mode: Standard Letter

Course Type: Seminar

Credit Hours: 3

Description: Both experimental and normative architectural discourse/design operates through a complex relationship to something referred to as "the body," informing the discipline's relationship to other fields of knowledge, technologies of subjectivity, and problems of epistemology and ontology. The course examines this relationship by developing a transdisciplinary history of the body in architecture for modernity, in the process exploring what that last phrase would mean.
