Theme/Course of Semester : Architecture and Resilience on the Human Scale

1. Course objectives
In order for architecture to rethink itself, it must not be constrained by the limitations of tradition. Course attempts to show that there is a consistent body of critical thought on architecture that exists outside of mainstream architectural discourse. The question of what is relevant to architecture will have been reconsidered, and the very definition of architecture will have been revised. Architecture will have been rethought.

2. Course Description
Architecture is the product of a way of thinking. If the problems of architecture are to be traced to their roots, then attention needs to be focused on the thinking and considerations that inform its production. Material showed in course has been selected to address these questions. The theme of course is Architecture and Resilience on the Human Scale and contents have been divided into three sections - Building Local Resilience: Bricks and feelings ; Resilience Within the Legacy of the Modern City ; Building Local Resilience: Can it be planned for?

3. Requirement & Grading
All students are required to attend all classes and complete all assignments on time. Any student who has more than three unexcused absences may be failed in the class. Whenever possible, discuss any necessary absences with instructor before you are absent or very shortly thereafter. Each student will present his(her) assignment of given issue and discuss at seminar on given time, will submit printed materials of his(her) presentation to Professor. Failure to present and submit his(her) assignment will affect the student’s final grade. An incomplete grade will only be issued when a student is unable to complete the work because of a documented illness. A letter from your physician will be required documentation.

5. ARCHITECTURE & RESILIENCE
Resilience will be a defining quality of the global 21st century. As we approach the unknown and unpredictable effects of climate change, and the multiple challenges of resource depletion, loss of welfare and economic crises, we know that our current ways of living are not resilient. Our urban infrastructures, our buildings, our economies, our ways of managing and governing are still too tightly bound to models of unrestrained free-market growth, individualism and consumerism. Research has shown that the crises arising from climate change will become increasingly frequent and increasingly severe. What is also known is that the effects of climate change are not evenly distributed across places and people, and neither are the resources needed to meet these challenges. We will need place specific responses that engage with, and emerge from, citizens ourselves. Focuses on co-production as a key component for resilience activity on the human scale. Whilst this is one standpoint amongst many, we recognise that university-community partnerships and notions of “co-producing research” have been increasingly on the agenda, with the belief that knowledge needs to be directed and created with those who need it most. In the field of architecture and planning, this follows a longer tradition of participation and signals not only a move towards ethical forms of knowledge production but new opportunities for collective action in making the city.
