Description


This elective helps students develop a more focussed reading of architectural drawings and photographs through case studies from the 20th century. Emphasis is placed on reading in detail, reading for discrepancies, reading for temporal specifics, reading images in relation to what is written about them, reading for the students' current design projects. The architects to be studied include: Rem Koolhaas, Ben van Berkel, MVRDV, Enric Miralles, Herzog and de Meuron, Kazuyo Seijima and Tadao Ando.
