THEORIES OF ARCHITECTURE & URBANISM [ARC 2224] : Project 2 Research Essay (Group/Individual)

2. Identify the different architectural theories which form the development of architecture and urban forms
3. Apply and relate architectural theories to contemporary architecture and urban forms
4. Analyze architecture and urban forms in relation to relevant architectural theories
5. Analyze and critique the relationship between architecture and its social, cultural and intellectual context
6. Produce, orally and in writing, a critical interpretation of architecture and urbanism in relation to relevant theories within the contemporary discourse of architecture
