ARTS 425 - Space and Environment

Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 3 Hours
Attribute: 3 HU

The twin concepts of “space” and “environment” have never been more charged with political meaning, nor more ubiquitous in the discourses of science, art and architecture. This seminar will investigate the roots–etymological, conceptual, and instrumental–of these two intertwining concepts, and help students to identify their manifold contradictions. Readings will range widely in philosophy, history and theory of science, the theory of perspective, ecology, noology and economics. Enrollment limit: 15.
Instructor: J. Harwood
Prerequisites & Notes
At least one course in Intermediate-level Art History.
