This seminar takes as its starting hypothesis that there is no architecture without a concept, and that concepts are what differentiate architecture from mere building. It attempts to demonstrate that the most important works of architecture in any given period are the ones with the strongest concept or idea rather than simply those with the most striking form or shape. It discusses one hundred projects or buildings and city plans from 1968 to the present, in terms of their ability to mark the history of ideas and concepts in architecture. It also discusses the differences between concepts, partis, diagrams, and compositions as well as between concepts, percepts, and affects. For each historical moment in the past forty years, students identify one or several major concepts that have either become out of date (against) or are still relevant today (for), as measured in relation to today’s moral, ideological, economic, or formal standards. It questions whether after Modernism and Postmodernism we are witnessing a phase of hypermodernism or modern iconism.
