About the Course:
For thousands of years, architecture was an integral element of the city. In the twentieth century that relationship was broken, however, and architecture became isolated--an anti-urban element. Suburbanization also contributed to the erosion of the traditional city. Today, unprecedented environmental issues demand a reexamination of the city, because, in terms of energy consumption and carbon production, it is the most efficient form of human habitation on a per capita basis. This lecture covers the background of the current urban predicament, the constituent formal elements of the city, the difference between architectural and urban design, and examples from the world’s best cities.
About the Instructor:
Michael Dennis is an architect, MIT Emeritus Professor, and the author of Court & Garden: From the French Hôtel to the City of Modern Architecture as well as Architecture and the City: Selected Essays.
