This course surveys twentieth-century architectural and urban theory by focusing on key themes and modalities of design practice that inform its purpose and philosophies. Modern architecture is modern because it incorporates theory in its technological and spatial orientation. That theory is primarily written, but it also includes built works and unbuilt work in the form of models, drawings, photographs, and films. Examining both the built and unbuilt, this course explores the development of modern architecture and urbanism thematically rather than chronologically to foreground multiple micro- and trans-historical connections and reveal how specific architectural ideas endure or are transformed.
