ARC181H1 Lecture 1: ARC181 – Technologies of Architecture - Lecture 1 Notes
Document Summary
Arc181 technologies of architecture, landscape, urbanism and art. What is it distinct from? (not necessarily what makes technology, technology: problem with this approach, set of methods that are limited, constantly be identifying and defining technology in certain ways. Looking back rather than forward: looking into the past into how technology was used etc. Using words to realize what technology is and how it works. Pulling apart the word and what did it signify in one moment of time and what does it mean in another period of time. Not a field of knowledge as it is a belief system: an ideology (-ism) looking at it from history of utopian projects, shows our desires and failures. These things only come about because of our desire to radically change the world around us literally ripping the world apart. To do the work of theory is to do something and to watch something.
