Ots, Enn, Decoding Theoryspeak: An Illustrated Guide to Architectural Theory, New York, N.Y., Routledge, 2010. Mallgrave, H.F.(editor), Architectural Theory, Vol.1, from Vitruvius to 1878, Hoboken, N.J.: 2005 Mallgrave, H.F., Architectural Theory Vol.II, from 1871-2005, Hoboken, N.J.: Wiley-Blackwell, 2009 Attendance Policy: No more than 10% absences are permitted during the semester. For the purposes of record, two late arrivals are considered as one absence. Exceeding this limit will expose the student to grade penalties at the discretion of the instructor due to lack of class participation and mastery of class material. Academic Integrity: Students and all others who work with information, ideas, texts, images, music, inventions and other intellectual property owe their audience and sources accuracy and honesty in using, crediting and citation of sources. As a community of intellectual and professional workers, the college recognizes its responsibility for providing instruction in information literacy and academic integrity, offering models of good practice, and responding vigilantly and appropriately to infractions of academic integrity. Accordingly, academic dishonesty is prohibited in The City University of New York and is punishable by penalties, including failing grades, suspension and expulsion. Course Structure: Course format will include a combination of the following activities: Lectures: Lectures will be given by a qualified instructor and, if warranted, by invited guest lecturers or experts in the field of architecture theory and related subjects. Research Activities: Students will research, make case studies and assess the theoretical underpinnings of buildings/structures of architectural note Presentations: Students will participate in written, oral and graphic presentations of their research. Grading: 30% Research projects 45% Final research project 10% Research presentations 10% Reflections Notebook 5% Participation General Education Learning Outcomes / Assessment Methods Learning Outcomes Assessment Methods Upon successful completion of this course the student shall be able to: To evaluate the students’ achievement of the learning objectives, the professor will do the following: (3.K) KNOWLEDGE; Lifelong learning. Students will understand the buildings that are meaningful to them, and so strengthen their Review students’ analysis and research and case study projects. Assess the way students identify why their case study selections are
2 Historical analysis How do representational methods/ drawing techniques/ form invention methodologies, etc. contribute to the development of different "final products" or final buildings of different styles? What representational methods will you deploy that reflect the historical moment of your building? Students will research diagrams showing styles and their formal development methods. Begin collecting drawings from your historical period. 3 Theory and Form Architectural theory and its relationship to form. Review samples; analyze how theory relates to form. Workshop: Creating a website of case studies of canonical buildings 4 Students select a theoretical text which they want to understand more deeply Review the material students presented. 5 Project selection Select 4 buildings/structures from the list of case studies. Project selection 6 Applying theory to scale Project Development: different scales together. Is the theory/idea working at the building scale in a way that supports scale of the detail? How is that related? Projects’ environmental impact. 7 Test case study due Present projects (pin-up) Environmental community impact Workshop: Ways of making analytical models/ ways of analyzing architecture? Turn in accurate model 8 Case study theory Analysis of the theory that generated their case study? What kinds of ideas does the architecture "canonize"? What ideas does it reject? Turn in model and present drawings 9 Case study 2 due Present projects (pin-up) Architectural theory behind your final case study 10 Theory reading Reading and analysis of project theoretical underpinnings 11 Case study 3 due Present projects (pin-up) Thesis question 12 Integration Ethics. Putting all of the projects in historical/ theoretical context (history of theory). Mixture between a critique of and re-emphasizing critical ideas. How does this project relate to the broader community? 13 Project development Ethical questions/ concerns raised by the case study 14 Finals Final Project Presentations
