The second semester on architectural history course survey the evolution of structures, movements, concepts and mottos in the scope of modern architecture. The time period of this course covers the precursors of modern architecture in the 19th century to the 1980s.
The course begins with a conceptual discussion of modern notions such as “modern, modernity, and modernism”, and then focus on the industrial revolution and movements of modern architecture. In the scope of the course, the architectural history is handled within its intertwinement to culture that transmits and responds to the conflicts, ideologies, aspirations and traditions of the zeitgeist. The exposition of how buildings and architectural ideas were formed in specific time and place within cultural, political, and institutional contexts offer a multitude ways of thinking in the production of architecture or knowledge. Through in-depth study and analysis of influential architects, styles, and cultural contexts, students will gain insights into the social, technological, and ideological forces that have shaped the built environment. By examining modern architecture with its totality, students will develop critical thinking skills and explore the multi-layered interplay between architecture, art, culture, politics and history.

Course Content
|
The course covers the evolution of architectural movements, theories, and structures from the industrial revolution to the 1980s. Beginning with the theoretical concepts (modern/ modernity/ modernism) related with modern architecture, the students explore a wide variety of issues such as formal tendencies and movements with their philosophical underpinnings, theoretical concepts, technology and material, biographical sketches, political and economic parameters, social and cultural influences.
Through the study of significant buildings, urban design projects, and cultural contexts, students gain insight into the dynamic interplay between architecture, art, society, culture and technology. The selection of the cases is accomplished regardless to the place of origin, their racial and theological identities in order to cast a wide net over the traditional historical accounts as well as key monuments and iconic structures represented equally profound transformations in the global built-environment.
