Long Title:
Department: Architecture
Grade Mode: Standard Letter
Course Type: Seminar
Credit Hours: 3
Description: THEORY AND MODERNISM: ARCHITECTURE FILM ***** This course wil 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 narative, 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. Repeatable for Credit.
