Architect's Journey
Traveling to distant
lands, foreign cities, ancient sites, and singular architectures have always
been part of the training and profession of the architect. The first part of this
course focuses on the emergence, establishment, and representation of travel in
relation to architecture. Critical positions on exclusive and colonizing forms
of travel are cultivated alongside assessment of architecture’s entanglement
with mobility in the modern era. The
second part is reserved to field work, to the journey taken together to a chosen
destination, and the development of individual critical/creative projects for
the exhibition assembled at the end of the semester. The aim of the journey is to
develop self-constructed knowledges about the sites visited regarded as places open
to variable interpretations rather than iconic sites with solidified meanings. The
projects are expected to express such self-constructed knowledges and personal interpretations
as much as information about the visited locales
