Visionary Architecture
ARC4123.01
Course Description
Summary
Architectural propositions consist of images and models that postulate a reimagined reality. Sometimes these go so far as to posit new worlds. These often operate in an expressly experimental mode. This studio will explore the history of visionary architecture as expressed through texts and images, ranging from Piranesi and Raymond Roussel, to Lebbeus Woods and Italo Calvino. Students will develop a series of projects that will explore the limits of architecture through drawings and models. In addition, weekly readings and sketch problems will be assigned.Prerequisites
