The content of the course focuses on issues of theoretical principles, illustration of context and constructive and architectural choices that gave rise to innovations and currents of architecture that generically called "Modernism".
By browsing through a large number of examples from the history of architecture between 1900 and 1950, we offer an in-depth reading of each the project, its context and the process that has produced certain results.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The objective of the course is to illustrate theoretical approaches that emerged during the first part of the twentieth century and continue to influence our practices and environments. This course is intended as a support for architectural workshop courses and more generally for knowledge of the discipline.
