This course examines the history of architecture over the past two centuries, focusing especially on developments from the 1880s through the 1970s.  Throughout the course we will consider how architecture participates in imagining and producing modern subjects, in response to changing aesthetic, technological, social, environmental, and theoretical challenges. Key topics will include changing utopian visions, the ordering of urban space, the influence of new visual technologies and modes of publicity on architecture, the contested boundaries of public and private space, the global circulation of architects and architectural ideas, as well as the shifting importance of nationalism, internationalism, and transnationalism to architectural production and urban development.  Although considerable attention will be paid to buildings, cities, and landscapes in Europe, the course emphasizes networks of movement and exchange encompassing Latin America, North Africa, Turkey, India, and Japan.  Course meetings will focus on case studies of significant sites that we will examine in detail as a springboard for broader discussions of thematic issues, including those raised by the readings.
