This course is the capstone course of the architecture history and theory curriculum and focuses on the key themes, histories, and methods of architectural theory—a form of architectural practice that establishes the aims and philosophies of architecture. Architectural theory includes the writings of sixteenth-century humanists, modern political revolutionaries, and contemporary bloggers, among myriad others. Architectural theory is primarily written, but it also incorporates drawing, photography, and film. The course focuses on the development of methods of critical inquiry, comprehension, and writing skill and the connection of theory to architectural representation and design.
