Philosophy in architecture | History homework help

Guidelines for final paper

 

 The final paper

should consist of 4000 or 5000 words. You will choose the topic and title, but will have to

submit one paragraph with a proposed outline . In choosing the

topic make sure that it is related to the course. As the course has been dedicated to

concepts, words, notions or elements, that pertain to the discipline of architecture, make

sure to either elaborate on one of the topics explored in class or choose a different one

but always related to architecture. Don’t try to make a “history” of a given notion, concept

or element, since that will probably require a longer paper or even book. Instead you

should focus on the theoretical and philosophical questions at issue, yet always trying to

relate the chosen topic to some specific architectural example, whether built or unbuilt.

 

The chosen building should have a sertain architectural phylosphy and theory based on the coures discription below. 

 

Course Description

Seminar on selected topics focusing on the history and theory of architecture. Consists of discussions, presentations, lectures, and readings on relevant topics as they have historically emerged within the discipline of architecture. May focus on specific historical periods and/or may include philosophy of architecture, architectural representation, architecture and the city.

 

Course Theme:

Philosophy of Architecture

Inspired by Louis I. Kahn’s seminal lecture “On Philosophical Horizons” this course will try to extract the philosophical content from architecture. Acknowledging our locus of enunciation (our discursive place: an architecture school) the course will explore taken-for-granted notions of our discipline inquiring into their complex and often contradictory meanings. The course will follow a topical schedule beginning with a critical discussion of the term architecture itself and the contemporary debates surrounding it, to later engage familiar notions such as Space, Function, Use, Plan, Section, Façade, etc. It will gradually arrive at more complex notions such as Horizon, World, and to the interrelated notions of the Human Body and its situational character, admittedly what drives much of the pedagogy of this school. Each topic will be covered on a weekly basis, with selected readings from modern and contemporary authors.
