講義概要
This regularly held seminar analyzes both historical and contemporary case studies in building and city planning. Language of instruction is English and weekly Thursday morning attendance is strongly encouraged.
講義の目的
The approach is both theoretical and visual. It should appeal to architectural, social engineering, or urban planning students. (However, interested students from any field are most welcome and there are no special prerequisites.)

教科書・参考書等
• Le Corbusier: Toward a New Architecture
The paperback (or the Kindle version for your laptop or mobile device) are cheaply available on amazon.jp OR amazon.jp/eng
However, if you are an architecture student, you will want to purchase:
• Le Corbusier: Toward an Architecture (new translation by John Goodman)
Getty Research Institute). Paperback.
This seems only to be available from amazon.com in the US— but is quite heavily discounted. Please order one or the other ASAP.
(A Japanese translation of this text also exists, but you will need the old or new English version as well.)
関連科目・履修の条件等
The course involves a certain amount of reading preparation but is otherwise based on active participation. We hope to discover and theorize ways in which building and “urban design” can make for a more satisfactory life experience in today’s cities worldwide.
成績評価
