| 052-0840-23L | History and Theory of Architecture Seminar: Contamination  | 2 credits | 2S | H. K. Le Roux, T. Avermaete | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | How can we tell the stories of distant things that influence each other? This seminar discusses and creates (hi)stories in architecture and urbanism that take into account the cross-site and interdependent relations of dominant and dependent duos. It looks at and creates new representations of north-south and south-south productions of space. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | The seminar is aimed at students whose research interests and design ambitions encompass global sites. It will introduce concepts from world systems, postcolonial and decolonial theory. Following student- and site-led research areas, it will create opportunities to challenge singular readings of architectural and urban places by finding the alterity within them. This work in turn will lead a fresh representation of sites in the form of a short text, curatorial work, or presentation. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
