Course contents :

||||||||
| In the introductory course in the of the bachelor's degree , we already emphasise the fact that since Vitruvius, architecture has adopted the metaphysical vision borne by mainstream Western rationality (logos). In this course taught during the 2nd cycle, since the students have already acquired a certain amount of experience in the theoretical and practical courses, we can deal with questions concerning architecture or town planning in a critical manner, that have recently been raised by architects who have read Heidegger, Arendt, Levinas, Foucault, Deleuze, Derrida, Nancy, Sloterdijk and other philosophers who feed the debate in this period referred to by the anthropologist Marc Augé as supermodernity. In particular, we shall examine the issues of space, places, land, towns, parks and landscape through this philosophical and political prism. | ||||||||
