Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The course aims to examine, understand and discuss the relationship between modernity and housing at the intersection of architecture, sociology, geography, anthropology and economics.

Course Content:

This course focuses on housing in the context of modernity. This subject will be evaluated from two different routes: housing as a physical space and dwelling as a culture. Premises for modern housing production and economy, individual agents in the housing regime, micro-politics in various geographies and the housing idea generated by the sociality and professionals are among the topics of discussion. Titles such as categorization, statistics, typology, standard, etc will be introduced and analyzed in-depth through their ability to construct the normative mindset about housing and dwelling. Some recent comparative work by housing scholars will be used to create a medium for a fruitful discussion.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) The opportunity and ability to understand and discuss the issue of housing in a broader framework.
2) To have in-depth knowledge about the foundations of modern housing production and economy, the actors of the housing regime, housing micro-politics in different geographies, and the idea of housing.
3) To master the basic texts on the theory of housing.
