2011-2012 MASTER IN ARCHITECTURE POST-PROFESSIONAL DEGREE PROGRAM
CONTEMPORARY APPROACHES TO ARCHITECTURE HISTORY, THEORY AND CRITICISM The Fall 2010 Open Seminar series, Work in Progress: Contemporary Approaches to Architecture History, Theory, and Criticism, offers current assessments of the discipline from a variety of perspectives within a participative framework. Instead of focusing on specific topics or periods the series provides a space for lecturers to share, test, and discuss their ideas, topics, or methodologies with an engaged audience. Lecturers will present their own specific approaches to architectural criticism and historiography while pointing to new methodologies and practices. The seminars will provide a limited but significant map of recent trends in architectural appraisal and valuation.
