 GSAPP The History of Architectural Theory
This class will explore the way that theory is produced and deployed at every level of architectural discourse from formal written arguments to the seemingly casual discussions in the design studio.
Architectural discourse will be understood as a wide array of interlocking institutions, each of which has its own multiple histories and unique effects.
How and why these various institutions were put in place will be established and then their historical transformations up until the present will be traced to see which claims about architecture have been preserved and which have changed.
