22-1140 Architecture in Chicago Now


This course investigates the built history of Chicago in architecture, landscape, and public sculpture through a series of thematic tours. The unique problems facing architecture as an art form, the structural and legal regulations applied to its form, the needs the user has for space, and the fact that buildings are often seen as real estate more than as design solutions, will all be studied. The class will study works of architecture as manifestations of ideas, and to create an inventory of concepts that relate to specific buildings and architects.
