| Course Title: Advanced Topics in Architecture: 'Public Space and Everyday Life in Globalizing Spanish Cities' |
| Start Date: 01/23/2023 End Date: 05/08/2023 |
| Term: Spring Semester 2023 |
| Description: With a transnational and historical scope, this course will examine everyday life and public space in Spanish cities. 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, architecture, gentrification, globalization, and mass tourism. From a lesser-known ethnographic angle, we'll also bring into dialogue the power within practices (walking, sitting, remembering, shopping, placemaking) as well as subjects and objects (street vendors, minority identities, urban furniture, buildings). |
