New Course Added 05.01.08
Addressing the intersecting histories of environmentalism and of architecture, this course examines the contested origins of environmentalism as a global movement and environmentalism’s impact on architecture. The readings stress synchronic developments around the world, weaving them into a cross-cultural enquiry of architectural environmentalism. This course has four chronological sections: the pre-history of environmental thinking; “Silent Spring” and the counter culture of the 1960s; the 70s energy crises; and the discourse of sustainability. Enrollment limit: 30. Instructor: V. Baweja Prerequisites & Notes An introductory class in Art History or Environmental Studies
