ARTH-4599 (3) Contemporary Architecture

Examines the history and theory of contemporary architecture. In the field of architecture, theory and history differ in that the former describes and analyzes past work, while theory offers alternative solutions or new strategies for approaching the discipline. Both of these components are key to understanding contemporary architecture, and this course will work between the two modes of understanding. Requisites: Requires prerequisite courses of ARTH 1300, 1400 and one 3000-level ARTH course (minimum grade D-).
