Description
This course explores the relationship between architecture and the city form, functions and planning in the social and historical context of the 20th century. Planning theory and practice is more specialized and separated from architectural theory. Yet, architecture has an important visual and functional impact on the urban form of the city and its planning. We survey the major architectural schools (Art Nouveau, Bahaus, International Style) and the cultural avant-garde trends (Futurism, Surrealism, Situationism), and their relationship to and impact on city planning are surveyed.
