MeeKoon's E-Portfolio: THEORIES OF ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM

Module Synopsis
The subject offers a thematic inquiry into architectural theory in the broader context of philosophical schools of thought and cultural and social conditions, which include modernism, postmodernism, phenomenology,
semiotics, post-structuralism, and deconstruction. These themes will guide the organization of weekly lecture and discussions, which will proceed from the establishment of a basic theoretical apparatus to the examination of specific cases. These will supply us with tools for the analysis of specific architectural situations. Students will develop a written synopsis of a designated reading, and an in-depth and analytical research paper on the designated topic.

Module Learning Outcomes:
