ARC 5744 Architectural History from 1840 to Present and ARC 5744 Lab Wednesdays: Labs at assigned time: 50 minutes Thursdays: Lecture and discussion: 9:00 – 10:40 Professor Gray Read, Email: [email protected] Website: http://faculty.fiu.edu/~readg/ Office: PCA376 (Office Hours: Tuesdays 9:00-12:00) My Blog: http://architecture-performance.blogspot.com Secondary Instructor: Asha Kutty, mailto:[email protected] GA: Juan Gatica, [email protected] Turnitin Course Number: Password: history (you must register yourself in this course on www.turnitin.com) Description: Course introduces students to the major ideas and figures that shaped the multiple strains of architectural design from 1840 to the present as well as examples of contemporaneous vernacular and indigenous design. Course considers three main themes present in much of design research and innovation: architecture as social action that engages often conflicting economic and cultural patterns of use, architecture as physical modification that addresses the natural world as well as people’s differing abilities, and architecture as technological innovation. Students will read and discuss influential texts of the late 19 th and early 20 th centuries, then consider how those ideas were manifest in architectural design.
