A46 ARCH 537GAldo van Eyck and Contemporary Architecture3.0 Units
Description:A graduate seminar employing comparative critical analyses to explore ten works of the Dutch architect Aldo van Eyck (1918-1999) and works by ten contemporary architects that share disciplinary ordering principles with the works of van Eyck, selected from a list including Giancarlo da Carlo, Herman Hertzberger, Fumihiko Maki, Lacaton and Vassal, Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara (Grafton Architects), Wang Shu and Lu Wenyu (Amateur Architects), Francis Kéré, Emiliano Lopez and Monica Rivera (Lopez-Rivera), and Mauricio Pezo and Sofia von Ellrichshausen (Pezo von Ellrichshausen). Van Eyck's works and writings were fundamental to the emergence of Team 10 in the late 1950s as the center of the critical evolution of modern architecture in the second half of the 20th century. Van Eyck's concepts, "the vernacular of the heart," "the constant and constantly changing," "the aesthetics of number," "the house is a like a small city," "the shape of the in-between," "labyrinthian clarity," "space in the image of man is place, and time in the image of man is occasion," and "architecture as built homecoming" will be used to structure the seminar, which will explore these architectural ordering principles characterizing van Eyck's work, and the manner in which these ordering principles have been employed by contemporary architects. Analytical methods employed in the course will address the contextual, cultural, material, constructive, and experiential attributes of buildings, with particular emphasis on the manner in which the spaces of a building are ordered by the patterns of occupation and the poetics of use, as well as the poetics of construction, or the way in which a building is built, and how these combine to construct the experience of those who inhabit it. Following introductory lectures by the faculty, each of the subsequent ten class meeting will consist of a presentation of a selected pairing of buildings, one by van Eyck and one by a c

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
