HAA 1407 - ARCHITECTURE AND ENLIGHTENMENT
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course will examine architecture, city planning, interior design, and gardening in eighteenth-century Europe as the product of social, industrial, administrative, and intellectual transformations that began to radically challenge traditional spatial configurations and conventional approaches to building. In cosmopolitan centers like London and Paris, an unprecedented explosion of print media, rapid rises in literacy, and the development of a public sphere outside official power structures opened debate in the arts to previously marginal figures. A range of new voices thus emerged that impacted policy decisions in the urban realm and proffered advice and guidance in thinking about aesthetics and artistic production. The rise of science held out the possibility that cities and institutions could be reshaped to improve human welfare through better hygiene and the expansion of commerce. Influential new classes defined by wealth or specialized knowledge generated the creation of building types for a range of new activities. Elite domestic space in particular reflects a wholesale transformation of social priorities motivated by the novel concept of privacy. Narrowly defined Renaissance discourses on the arts founded exclusively on the model of ancient Rome collapsed under an avalanche of data gathered in remote sites around the Mediterranean and through contact with more far-flung civilizations around the world. New intellectual paradigms reconfigured the relationship between individual and nature, between modern present and historical past. Consequently, the purpose of architecture mutated in the course of the eighteenth century as a bewildering range of new possibilities for shaping building and reshaping social relations were explored. Well before political revolution rocked European governments and toppled traditional hierarchies, the built environment served as a laboratory for experimentation and as a forum for reimagining society.

HAA 1411 - MODERNISM
Minimum Credits: 3

Something happened in the history of art around the time of Manet which set painting upon a new course. This change has been described as a kind of skepticism or uncertainty about the nature of representation in art, characterized by an attention to the material means by which illusions and likenesses are made. This course will examine several monuments in the history of modernism, in an attempt to define the political ambitions of modernism and to confront the issue of whether modernism has become simply an aesthetic or is still a viable artistic strategy in the “post-modern” era.

HAA 1475 - MODERNITY, MODERNISM AND HOUSING
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course offers multiple perspectives on architectural modernism and modernity through the perspective of dwelling. We will consider examples of modern architecture from the Americas, Europe, Africa, the middle East and Asia from the late 19th century (starting with the debates regarding tenements in this country and working-class housing in England) and end with the demolition of the Pruitt-Igoe housing projects in St. Louis in 1972. The lens of housing will allow us to consider modernism in different geographic contexts (East and West); under different political conditions (in the colonial periphery, in the heart of empire, as part of state-sponsored redevelopment projects, and as part of the nation-building process in the developing world) and through a range of theoretical vectors (i.e. The modernist house as a manifesto for a new way of living; the attention received by vernacular building traditions and various schemes to replicate them as part of the modern project; the role of post-war technology in prefabricated housing; and the role of museums, such as the MOMA and other institutions such as the united nations in calcifying modernism in various locales around the world). This course is designed to give students a strong foundation in the theoretical, aesthetic and historical expressions of architectural modernism. It is also designed to expand the range of architectural modernism beyond the traditional Euro-Ameri-centric canon to include alternative modernisms across global geographies.

But at the same moment a new American architecture was taking shape to express the new wealth of post-Civil War America and its new social order. The next hundred years would see a succession of brilliant architects in Sullivan, Wright, Mies, Johnson and the pluralists of today. These individual successes only partially mask some major problems; both constitute the underlying themes of this course.

The architecture, engineering, construction and operations industry has well documented inefficiencies stemming primarily from fragmentation in the project delivery process. At the same time, the industry faces significant challenges such as the demand to deliver projects more economically, the desire for more environmentally responsible projects, and the expectation of more predictability in performance — all of which call for more integration and collaboration throughout a project’s lifecycle. New technologies such as building information modeling (BIM) are revolutionizing architecture and construction, providing a platform that allows project information to be captured, structured and analyzed throughout the entire lifecycle of a project, enabling a more integrated, collaborative process that supports more informed decision making and higher levels of efficiency. In this course, students will learn the principles of BIM using Revit software.

HAA 1923 - GLOBAL PRESERVATION
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
The late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century debates regarding the role of the architectural monument as a signifier of the past, as a container of memory and more importantly authenticity, were the definitive moment in the institutionalization and professionalization of architectural preservation around the world. In a 1903 essay titled ‘The Modern Cult of Monuments,’ art historian Alois Reigl claimed that while the creation of monuments (i.e. structures built to memorialize certain events or persons) had a long history that predates modernity, the ‘cult of the monument’ (i.e. the allocation of the monument as a unique and original object in a pre-ordained historical narrative of social and cultural evolution) came about as recently as the nineteenth-century. It is this coupling of the advent as well as the progress of modernity along with the formalization of systems of historic preservation that this course seeks to explore.
