Course Objective

This course aims to discuss and interpret the relationship between various art forms and architecture in order to conduct visual and semiotic analysis of contemporary art and design products. It will examine different periods and movements within the framework of contemporary art theories, discuss their relationship with architecture, and analyse the relationship of significant art and architectural products within their social, political, economic, and cultural backgrounds, as well as aesthetic formations. The course will be integrated into theoretical and practical discussions by deeply examining different artistic practices (visual arts, digital arts, auditory arts, performance arts etc.) and seminal texts.

Assessment Methods

Further Notes About Assessment Methods

This course consists of lectures by the tutor and discussion sessions primarily carried out by students. It requires active participation on the part of students. It is primarily structured around close readings. Students are expected to engage in all assigned readings critically before the appropriate class. On a weekly basis, they are expected to produce 200-word summaries of texts and to come to class prepared to share these notes for open debates. For the mid-term exam, they will select a topic from the weekly program and present it in class within the framework of the given text and case study (including problem statement / research question and a preliminary / tentative bibliography). The instructors will give feedback to guide students on how to proceed in the research. The students are expected to develop their proposal as a final research paper, delving deeply into the issues raised directly by the readings and class discussions, yet bringing in new material.

Course Policies and Rules:
Weekly topics cover different themes and questions, yet they interrelate and accumulate over one another. Therefore, a day of absence may result in losing track of topics and discussions.
Students are expected to come to every class with annotated copies of the readings, remain engaged, and participate actively in class discussions, presentations, and readings.
Being absent in class is not considered as a valid excuse for late submissions of assignments. Late submissions will be subject to a different evaluation.
All kinds of plagiarism will result in a disciplinary action.
