Advanced Topics in Modern Architecture: Architecture of Collective Dissidence

How do artworks and buildings allow us to interpret past and present methodologies of resistance? Can poems, music, and artifacts help us reconstruct these methods, along with the people and spaces that shaped them? What tools have architects and artists historically developed as part of resistance efforts, and what roles did these tools play in cultural, political, and religious forms of dissent? The course revisits these questions in the context of debates in modern architecture from Austria, Turkey, the Soviet Union, Japan, Chile, the United States and South Africa.
