Learning outcomes

The course focuses on the relationships between architecture and other artistic and humanities disciplines. Each semester focuses on a specific intersection of architecture with the visual arts, literature, or film. The goal is to provide students with tools for interpreting visual, literary, and audiovisual works in the context of architecture and to teach them to think about the overlaps between these fields. Special emphasis is placed on topics such as writing in architecture, narrative strategies in architectural practice, relationships between architects and artists, the role of the architect in film and literature, and the cinematic representation of architectural space. Students will acquire theoretical knowledge about the connections between architecture and other disciplines and learn to apply this knowledge in the analysis of works as well as in their own creative work.
