Learning outcomes |
This CU aims to reflect on and build critical knowledge about the practical and theoretical production of architecture and the city from a gender perspective, including its origins and development and the socio-cultural, economic and political conditions that constitute its contexts. This course aims to provide a more solid reflection on the history of architectural and urban production and an associated critical awareness, with inevitable repercussions on architectural and urban practice and discourse. The proposed work, together with the acquisition of specialised knowledge, aims to develop skills in understanding and articulating the various scales of spatiality, crossed with concepts such as, among others, systems of oppression or situated knowledge. Awareness of the complexities of human productions should provide structured critical and discursive competencies, fuelling theoretical and project proposals.
