Abstract

The elective seminar provides practical experimentation at the interface of architecture and language: writing on architecture as a result of reading buildings and texts, as a personal composition in the space between academic work and “ficto-critical“ essay.

Objective

Students gain experience in articulating their own perspectives on architectural theory and practice. They become familiar with the conventions of academic writing and opportunities for further personal engagement, and develop critical and communication skills.
