Description: CASE STUDY IN URBAN DESIGN: BRASILIA ***** Starting with two principal documents describing the city of Brasilia, the original hand drawn competition entry in 1957 and a digital survey of 1997, this seminar will study modern urban design in relation to the 1950's project for a new Brazilian capital. The project of Brasilia, and its inevitable transformation over time, will be looked at historically, politically, culturally, formally and esthetically. ***** Enrollment is limited to 12.
