ARCH1621W: Introduction to Critical Inquiry in Practice

3 CreditsEnvironmentWriting Intensive

This course introduces beginning architecture and landscape architecture students to critical inquiry in disciplinary research and professional practice through guest lectures, readings and discussions. Weekly exercises help develop a beginning-level understanding of the depth and breadth of architectural inquiry in its contemporary context, i.e., as a complex, multi-dimensional, multidisciplinary endeavor with myriad ethical implications. For the final project, students will extend individual curiosity from course materials and presentations into a meaningful proposal for basic or applied research. Students who are engaged in course materials will begin to understand: architecture, landscape architecture and design more broadly as an ecology of practices; the historical, contemporary and projective framework for architecture education; the historical, contemporary and projective framework for architecture as a profession; and specifically how these relate especially in this region.
