The state of crisis that contemporary society is currently immersed in is not only due to the conditions imposed upon us by the global economic crisis but is also a product of a profound crisis of ideas and values.
We might claim that the ideological disorientation that has manifested itself particularly harshly in the field of architecture has contributed decisively to the gradual disappearance of critical intervention in the sphere of cultural debate.
The aim of the course on the Theory and Criticism of Architecture is to make an analysis of the current situation of architecture from a perspective that asks searching questions about the different aspects that define the status quo of architecture today and the viewpoints and thinking patterns that have developed around them.
The objective underlying the course syllabus is to motivate students to recognise the components of rigour, responsibility and commitment when it comes to making interpretations and diagnoses of the social, political and cultural realities of their environment with the aim of recovering architecture’s leading role in the construction of society.
. To incentivize students to develop modes of attention and reaction to the synergies and facts which define the immediate state of the present.
.To provide students with a conceptual foundation that will enable them to develop their own approaches when theorizing on contemporary architectural manifestations and to formulate consistently critical, useful and relevant opinions at both a personal and group level.
.To develop written and oral expression skills to a professional level so students can express their personal opinions consistently and rigorously in different registers that are suitable for all kinds of media and formats (interviews, reviews, texts for blogs, etc.).
. A general understanding of the fundamental aspects that define present-day architecture and urban planning.
. The formation of reasoned and critical personal viewpoints on these aspects.
. The capacity to express and communicate these points of view in order to be able intervene in debates and discussions on contemporary architecture.
