199 T he Splendor and Spoils of France: French Culture, Art, and Design in the 17th and 18th Centuries Dates: Wednesday, 5:30-8:15 PM, June 7–July 29 Lecture Credits: 2 Prerequisites: 101/501 or 640
This year, NYSID is offering a virtual study abroad course that will feature lectures, active discussions, virtual site visits, film, and music, and explore a time when France emerged as the art and design capital of the world. In this online course, students will immerse themselves in all aspects of French life in order to investigate religious upheaval, royal rule, the rise of the bourgeoisie, and the experiences of the common man, all of which contributed to one of the most notorious moments in history, the French Revolution. French design in this period was a holistic practice and sought to create an overall mood that intertwined fine art, decorative arts, architecture, literature, fashion, and music. People met in social groups known as salons to discuss and debate all of these topics and often saw women play an integral role. By emulating salon culture, we will meet notable characters like King Louis XIV, whose ego was the only thing that could rival the exuberance of his glittering palace of Versailles. We will virtually visit the chateaux of the French countryside and explore Parisian hôtels de villes where we will encounter a new attitude in society that embraced comfort and transitioned into a more personal, intimate, and modern way of living, even though they loved to gild everything, from sconces to furniture to whole rooms. We will also consider the political,

UNDERGRADUATE COURSES Modernist buildings frequently conjures up images of glass-and-steel skyscrapers defining densely built neighborhoods. This paradigm is in large part based on a specific variant of Modernism—the International Style—European in origin, but codified in a landmark exhibition held at New York’s Museum of Modern Art in 1932. Indeed, after World War II, New York-based architects contributed mightily to popularizing and disseminating this iconic style; fueled by the economic power of corporate America, they rebuilt whole precincts of the city and in the process, rendered New York synonymous with Modernism. This course will explore the seminal role that New York played in the development of the International Style and, in turn, the critical imprint the style made on the city’s growth and evolution. The International Style was, however, only one architectural vocabulary amongst many that constituted a larger Modernism. This course will argue that Modernism may be more accurately labeled Modernisms. Students will explore the divergent manifestations of what it has meant to build in a Modern idiom, beginning at the start of the 20th-century and continuing to the present day. The course will cast the net widely to examine issues not only of architectural style, but also of technology, building methods, infrastructure, and urbanism. Further, the course will look at the work of lesser-known architects as well as the period’s most famous practitioners, and will consider buildings in all five boroughs, not merely Manhattan. The course will focus on both primary and secondary source material and incorporate extensive in-class reading and discussion as well as at-home reading and writing assignments. Class time will also incorporate lectures and student-led presentations. Additionally, class time will be devoted to field trips throughout the city to experience significant modern buildings and places firsthand. Faculty: Mellins
