ARCH 242 Criticism Two: World Arch & Urbanism 2

Histories and theories of architecture, urbanism, and interiors in Western and non-Western societies from 1900 to the present are surveyed. The focus of this course is on the formal, aesthetic, cultural, and socio-political dimensions of modernism. Different historiographies are developed into various approaches toward understanding modern architecture in its varied contexts, including but not limited to Marxist, Feminist, and Psychoanalytic. Analytical drawing and modeling exercises link representational media to historic comprehension.
