AUID PhD Course, First Session, “Architectural Criticism as an Object of Research”
Is architectural criticism a form of criticism in general, or a critical practice of architecture in general? The course will explore the different dimensions of this question, inviting militant critics, historians and architects, to interact in 3 sessions. The first session will discuss the possibility to consider Architectural Criticism as the object of research, from the point of view of both historiography and methodology.
