Overview
The first year program in History-Theory aims to expand students? horizons of knowledge about architecture while teaching foundational skills in reading and writing in the discipline. Even though students at the School of Architecture are expected to be highly literate and articulate, entering into a new fieldùsuch as architectureùis a difficult intellectual transition to make. Students will need to develop specific cognitive skills to address the new territories they will have to map. The first year program sets out to help students attain a basic literacy in the discipline while introducing a selection of the monuments of modern architecture together with contemporary ways of thinking about the field.
