The course is mandatory for all architecture students in GK3, and builds on the course Architectural history 1 (GK2)
Architectural History 2 gives an introduction to European and North-American architectural history from around 1900 until today. We study buildings and their contexts, placing particular emphasis on the origins and development of Modernism. Through a series of close readings of selected works, the course explores Modernist design practices as well as its theoretical and ideological ideals. The course is structured as a lecture series.
The course gives historical knowledge as well as training in understanding and analysing buildings. At the end of the course, the students will be able to analyse architectural form in a critical, contextual, and historically conscious manner.
The course is structured as a lecture series with some short excursions to buildings. Students are expected to read course literature ahead of each lecture.
