WiSe 19/20: The Future is a Rectangle: American Modernist Architecture in its Global Context
Joshua Shannon
Comments
This course offers a history of modern architecture in the United States, with an emphasis on its ideological aspirations and socio-political contexts. The course emphasizes the period 1945 - 1985, focusing especially on the adaptation of modernism to serve as the default style for new schools, post offices, university campuses and other ordinary civic building projects. We will investigate in particular the political meanings of this vernacular use of “International Style”
modernism.
