Art & the History of Art 256 - 20th Cent. Architecture

This lecture course examines the history of the modernist movement from 1914 to the present in relationship to the primary ideologies of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries--socialism, capitalism, and globalism.  It considers the work of the founding figures--Wright, Mies, Gropius and Le Corbusier--and significant themes, such as the individual versus the collective; European versus American approaches; modernism beyond the West; the impact of popular culture and new technologies; and issues surrounding sustainability.

Recommended requisite: ARCH/ARHA/EUST 135. Limited to 35 students. Spring semester. Visiting Lecturer Vickery.
