Course Content (Syllabus)
This course attempts to highlight to students lesser-known aspects of modern architectural production in the so-called regions of the global South, with an emphasis on the Greek context. The backbone of the course is structured on the conceptual opposition between the North and the South, as put forward by the Portuguese sociologist Boaventura de Sousa Santos. The North/South antithesis indicates the asymmetric relationship that develops between different regions of the planet from the ideological domination of the North which is constantly reproduced through capitalism, colonialism, and patriarchy. This polarised ideological condition also had consequences in the field of architecture, with the dominant historiography reproducing exclusions that are not recognized by the narrative constructed by the Western, white, masculine gaze and discourse.
The course is not based on a chronological organisation of the material based on historical development, but instead on typological clusters (urban scale, Collective Housing, Collective Infrastructure, etc.) that compose a transhistorical investigation of architectural production in Greece, the Iberian Peninsula, and the African Continent during the 20th and 21st centuries. Central to this investigation is the concept of the exemplary object (building, plan, text, exhibition, etc.), namely a general and simultaneously specific object that highlights all the parameters that allowed its creation at a specific historical moment.
