Learning outcomes |
This course aims to reflect on the theoretical and practical production of the architectural world of the Contemporary Age, understanding its genesis and development in this context and the socio-cultural conditioning factors that framed it. Adequate knowledge of the History of Architecture of this specific period also aims to increase maturity in reflection on the history of production and critical awareness of this particular moment in history, with inevitable repercussions on subsequent architectural practice and discourse. Learning to think about architecture from a complex point of view, to which a wide range of knowledge contributes, is an essential objective of any degree in architecture, and this course is part of that way of thinking/acting about architectural knowledge. Awareness of the complexity of this production should structure greater critical discursive competence about the various proposals that students deal with throughout their training.
