This is a vertical elective combining students in their fourth and fifth year of the BArch program with students from the architecture graduate programs. The content of the elective options varies from year to year, and covers advanced topics of architectural history and theory.Section Description:Regarding the social unrest of his time, the famous modernist architect Le Corbusier once stated that it’s either “architecture or revolution.” But what about architecture in a revolution and as revolution? How has architecture been put in service of radical politics? And how have architects translated their ideologies into design? In this course, we will look at the intersections of architecture and radical politics by reading short fiction, utopias (or dystopias), as well as pamphlets and manifestos by leftist European architects and Soviet avant-gardists and texts about architectures of fascism and capitalism.
