How do dynamics of governance shape architecture, like states’ rights in America’s federal system? And how do government centers through form, space, and symbol shape citizens’ identities and consent to be governed, aspects of governmentality theorized by Foucault and subject to resistance and reform?  Focused upon modern American architecture and urbanism this seminar is open to students’ explorations in other media, places, and times.  If feasible, field trips will go to local and/or regional sites.  No prerequisites are necessary for this class.
