| Inhalt | This course explores the making of cities, landscapes, and territories in the context of global history since the early modern period. By approaching urbanization as both a material process and an intellectual project, the course critically unpacks the stakes of design and everyday life beyond the binaries of North versus South and urban versus rural. Its goal is to equip students with frameworks and skills for analyzing the role of architecture and design in reshaping humanity and our planet across different scales. While design can encompass any collective and individual intention to shape the physical world, we pay particular attention to the disciplinary development of architecture and the urban professions. From the first global urban networks to the International Congresses of Modern Architecture and from Baroque urbanism to contemporary design responses to climate change, we analyze a broad range of sites, forms, techniques, discourses, and projects. These analyses are enriched by theoretical engagement with concepts such as modernity, capitalism, colonialism, and globalization. Beyond architectural types and urban forms as such, we will examine the infrastructures and territories in which they are embedded. In doing so, this course encourages students to fundamentally question what is at stake in the shape of our physical world. |
