Aims: To provide a review of critical bodies of architectural and urban theory congruent to the themes of the parallel studio.

Students will research one architectural topic appropriate to their interests and present a final paper that demonstrates a structural argument and is complete with full bibliographic references.
Skills:
Research, part guided, part independent; presenting arguments coherently in written English.
Content:
Eight lectures which focus on the development of salient debates of the last forty years. The course will also focus on a series of reading material made available in the form of a course reader.
