Grade Mode: Standard Letter
Course Type: Seminar

Description: The aim of the seminar, based on a close reading of projects and texts, is to learn to utopianize, to generate and provide a series of strategies that allow us to redefine the limits of utopia, histories, stories and architectures constructing possible pasts, and simultaneously possible futures. Students will be expected to test this hypothesis (utopia as doubt) through analytical and projective documentation in terms of temporality, representation, politics, ideology, geography, et al.
