| Course Objectives: | The course aims to provide students with conceptual, historical and linguistic tools, with which they can read modern architecture. |
| Course Content: | The course will cover theoretical background to the emergence of modern architectural notions within 19th and 20th century discourses. The course will undertake discussion of these notions through examples of modern architecture and trace the history of their uses through the course of 20th and 21st centuries. |
