(Cr: 1)

Part 3 of a 4 semester continuing course studying the interrelationship of theory, history, and practice as it relates to architecture, interior design, and the designer. It looks at theory not as a specialized discourse related only to design, but touches upon many broader issues, whether they are cultural, aesthetic, technological, philosophical, or professional. Topics, readings, and examples are chosen from a wide range of materials, from classical antiquity to today, as well as from many complementary issues related to creating a multi-disciplinary approach to design. This course provides a forum for discussion and exploration.
