Contemporary Architecture

Through lectures, exercises and guided field trips, the course will deal with certain significant nodes in the culture of the architectural project between the 19th and 21st centuries. Hence, not a sketchy overview of history but a sharp focus on a series of issues – structure, function, aesthetics and social consciousness – through which the identity and images of Modernity were constructed. Field trips (to be confirmed): Gio Ponti exhibition's in Rome, Italian Rationalism in Como razionalista and Milan.
