Objectius
The goal is to understand and explore the potential of travel in the education of an architect and the development of an architectural career. To this aim the course will discuss the architect gaze through the analysis of the work and travels of different architects scattered from different historical moments but coincident in one specific and shared site or city visited by all of them, and will culminate on a trip to this site. |
Subject abstract
Travel is an essential asset in the education of architects and the shaping of an architectural taste. The experience of and visit to architecture becomes a necessary step towards the construction of a personal and original interpretation of existing architectures used as a ground for the own architectural construction, because, indeed, architecture is unavoidable an intellectual and cultural construction deeply related to and dialogical with the architectural debates expanding through history. Therefore, travel and its associated experience becomes a turning point in the formation of architects and the shaping of architectural debates. As it is has been the cases for most of architects and architecture debates along centuries –from Michelangelo to Bernini, Le Corbusier or Louis Khan. The first edition of this course will deal about Rome. |
