Cross-Listed with: ARCH 325
Prerequisites: Graduate Standing
This course on modern architecture examines buildings, cities, and landscapes in relation to the visual arts, culture, politics, and technological and social change.

It highlights the 20th-century avant-gardes and concludes with the crystallization of modern architecture in the West and around the world.
