Rotating skyscrapers, green roofs, and avant-garde museums: how did we arrive in the architectural world of the early 21st century?

Students will learn about the work of major architects as well as key architectural theories and debates. Special emphasis will be placed on the cultural and political contexts in which buildings are designed. 2 hrs. Lect./1 hr. disc.
