In recent decades, a growing interest in material cultures and the sociology of space has elevated the status of architecture in sociological discussions. In this seminar, we will ask how different architectural forms take part in a range of different social practices. To what extent are they part of social practices, support or suppress them? We will adopt a simple scheme of spatial directions to discuss forms of enclosure (prisons), verticality (skyscrapers), liminality (borders), flows (logistics), etc. The seminar will take place in English. Students will be required to write reading logs before every meeting and to either write a book review or record one as a podcast. |
