2023-2024Fourth-year criticism unit
The course provided a visual, technical, and political framework for understanding the significance of two foundational typological elements in architecture most closely associated with the thesis of the benefits of “dense cities” (the skyscraper): the elevator and bathroom banks. It also stressed the relationship that critique—both in art and architecture—had with history and, secondly, with stylistic conventions characteristic of research writing, journalistic criticism, opinion writing, and wine criticism. More broadly, the course highlighted concrete possibilities for architects to engage with contemporary political, professional, and educational urgencies.
