Why did universities build concrete buildings during the 1950's - 1970's and why are they both loved and hated? This course will explore Brutalist architecture at public universities and will use the UMass Amherst campus as a case study in how culture, technology and civic values are reflected in the architecture of its most iconic buildings.
Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
