New Subject in Semester 2: ABPL90369 Architecture as Spectacle
|
 |
|
This subject considers the production of architecture in the age of commodification of the 20th and early 21st century. It reflects on how such a world increasingly conceives, produces and consumes architectural design as a form of spectacle.
Case studies to be explored include the signatory works of 21st century’s star architects and their branding of the global cities, national pavilions at the world exposition series, museum architecture, arts spaces, and the commercial architecture of shopping malls, flagship stores of international brands, tourist sites and entertainment centres.
This subject is for students who are interested in reflecting on how architecture interacts with broader cultural production of our time such as othering, commodification, branding and imaging.
