ARCH 1621V - Introduction to Critical Inquiry in Practice (3 Cr.) Writing Intensive, Honors
School of Architecture (10827)
TALA - College of Design
Course description
This course introduces beginning architecture and landscape architecture students to critical inquiry in disciplinary research and professional practice through guest lectures, readings, and discussions. Weekly exercises help develop a beginning-level understanding of the depth and breadth of architectural inquiry in its contemporary context, i.e., as a complex, multi-dimensional, multidisciplinary endeavor with myriad ethical implications. For the final project, students will extend individual curiosity from course materials and presentations into a meaningful proposal for basic or applied research. Students who are engaged in course materials will begin to understand: architecture, landscape architecture, and design more broadly as an ecology of practices; the historical, contemporary, and projective framework for architecture education; the historical, contemporary, and projective framework for architecture as a profession; and specifically how these relate especially in this region.
