History and Theory of Architecture 1:1 7.5 credits
About the course
The students are introduced to the study of history and theory as a way to understand the influence of cultural, societal and technological developments on architecture and urban planning. Starting from a European perspective, the course spans a chronological period from the start of the 19th century to World War II. It explores the impact of the Industrial Revolution and concepts of Modernity as responses in architecture and urban planning. Concepts relating to spatial form and aesthetics are explored through the lenses of contemporary theoretical perspectives and history. The student will develop methods to analyse, reflect on and interrogate these concepts and to see the connection between practical, historical and theoretical knowledge.
