PHIL 359 - Philosophy of Architecture Semester Offered: First Semester Full Course Credits: 4 credits Attribute: 4HU, WADV
This seminar examines the main issues discussed in the philosophy of architecture: What is architecture? Is architecture an art? Do buildings have a meaning? If so, what is it and how is it conveyed? What is the aesthetic experience of architecture? How does architecture determine the way we live and how we ought to behave? Does architecture have a political function? By reading analytical and continental authors and considering actual buildings, this course proposes a critical overview of the most relevant metaphysical, epistemological, aesthetic, phenomenological, ethical, and political questions concerning architecture and also a discussion of the discipline in itself. Prerequisite: 2 courses in philosophy or instructor consent.
