本課程為三年制建築碩士生必修課，對二戰結束餘波影響下的建築作品、理論與相關議論提供一個批判性的回顧。課程的目標在於對該時期提供一個歷史性的瞭解，同時發展一個對評估當代建築議題有意義的架構。對於建築師們如何闡釋他們對「當前」這個定義的史學議題，將會特別給予關注。

This class, required of all Master of Architecture students, presents a critical review of works, theories, and polemics in architecture in the aftermath of World War II. The aim is to present a historical understanding of the period, and to develop a meaningful framework to assess contemporary issues in architecture. Special attention will be paid to historiographic questions of how architects construe the terms of their "present."
