Catalog Description
Through readings and discussions of ancient and modern texts on aesthetics and form analyses the course aims to make students conscious of interpretations of art, design and formal qualities. Readings will involve texts from Plato and Aristotle up to modern writers as Heidegger. The discussions and student work will also partly involve critical analyses of art and architectural examples in the light of different interpretations of the readings.
