| Course Title: Advanced Topics in Architecture: 'Public Space and Everyday Life in Globalizing Spanish Cities' |
| Start Date: 03/18/2021 End Date: 05/11/2021 |
| Term: Spring Semester 2021 |
| Description: This course will examine everyday urban life and public space in Spain from the post-Civil War period (1939) to 2021. We'll approach cities as dynamic global networks shaped by cultures, politics, economies, ideologies, memories, and imaginations. Through literary, visual, and theoretical texts, we'll explore the in/exclusivity of large-scale urban phenomena such as street design, gentrification, city ordinances, globalization, and mass tourism. From a lesser-known ethnographic angle, we'll also bring into dialogue the power within everyday practices (walking, sitting, remembering, shopping, placemaking) as well as subjects and objects (street vendors, immigrants, urban furniture, historic buildings). |
