Theory and Anti-theory in Contemporary Practice
The relationship of theory and practice shapes architectural production. The course focuses on interfaces between theories of architecture proposed this century from within the profession by practitioners and those proposed from without by philosophers, artists, poets, filmmakers, and scientists, among others. One of the goals of the course will be to examine the interconnected roles that theory and practice play in establishing architecture as a critical cultural activity.
