The period under study extends from the end of the 19th century through to the events of 1939.
The approach falls within a field which compares artistic expression with architectural productions.
The course aims to provide knowledge of the major stages in the evolution of architecture in the 20th century.
The objective is to show how architects have thought about space through their various productions (writing, drawings, constructions).
The course constitutes a foundation of knowledge which is necessarily useful for implementation of an architectural project in the workshop.
The course syllabus, a portfolio of texts and material relating to the classes themselves will form an integral part of the material given.
