Critical Approaches to Architecture
Tutor: Helen Hills
Description
Architecture is not equivalent to a literal building. This module is designed to open up the examination and critical analysis of architecture in terms of history, materiality, and the question of the work of architecture. It approaches architecture through the lens of architectural discourse, embracing buildings, the figure of the architect, the architectural profession, architecture and religion, film, poetry and novels. It engages with interpretations of architecture from within art history and from outside its borders, including in film studies, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, and health sciences.
