ANTH 50.59 Architecture in the Field: Observing, Recording, Knowing

This course examines the observation and documentation of architecture, landscape, and urbanism, a practice that historians, architects, artists, anthropologists, and field scientists commonly refer to as “fieldwork.” Students will learn about fieldwork histories, methods, and sites in tandem with their own firsthand observations: each week, students will conduct fieldwork in the Hanover area and learn about the ethical and political dilemmas posed by different fieldwork methods such as photography, descriptive writing, drawing, mapping, and ethnography.
