Open to all students
Instructors: John Blood, Elizabeth Danze
This course offers students of architecture, and others interested in the field, direct exposure to critical works of contemporary and emergent architecture from the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Using Copenhagen, Zurich, and Basel as home bases, students will visit a wide range of consequential and influential buildings. These visits provide an immersive experience that offers direct insight into the design principles, contextual influences, and innovative building techniques that define truly outstanding architecture. Through this hands- on engagement, students will develop a deeper appreciation for how these buildings interact with their environments and how they exist within their broader cultural contexts. While travelling, students will observe, study, investigate, and record the buildings visited primarily through the physical act of drawing and keeping an illustrated journal.
