ARTH 47.06 Modernity’s Global Story of Architecture

While many of the ideas that gave rise to Modernity originated in the Enlightenment, accounts of Modernity took an acute turn at the end of the nineteenth century, following the Industrial Revolution. Architects such as Adolf Loos and theorists like F.T Marinetti rejected historical architectural forms in favor of those that spoke of the new technological age. Antonio Gaudi and others created an ornate architecture known as Modernista. In other parts of the world, Modernity involved former slaves recasting Classical, Renaissance and Baroque architecture in their own form of modern architecture. This class explores how Modernity assumes many guises throughout the world when narrated through the architecture different peoples created.
