Class Description: Study the lives and work of innovative modern architects who are noted for their work worldwide. Modern architecture was distinct in the way it embraced new materials including steel and concrete, allowed form to follow function, and connected structures to their sites. The class will focus on a different architect each week, discussing their career, the buildings they designed, the influence they had on other architects, and the effect their achievements had on
the world. This is a continuation of previous classes on Modern Architecture; we will cover the careers and iconic works of Philip Johnson, Eero Saarinen, I.M. Pei, Louis Kahn, Bruce Goff, and other notable architects.
