| Course Contents | In this course we explore “critical spatial practice” and consider the relationship between art and architecture with reference to different theoretical themes. In the last ten years or so a number of academic disciplines have come together in debates concerning ‘the city.’ These discussions around the urban condition have produced an interdisciplinary terrain of ‘spatial theory’ that has reformulated the ways in which space is understood and practiced. The traditional boundaries between art and architecture are increasingly blurred in work that has been variously described as site-specific art, public art and urban intervention. In art, such work has been variously described as contextual practice, site-specific art, public art, and in architecture, as conceptual design and urban intervention. We draw on concepts from disciplines such as visual arts, critical theory and cultural geography to explore the relationships between art, architecture, place, space and site. | ||||||||
