Architecture is about creating space for human beings. The efforts self-evident and no one would doubt would raise a question on its endeavors. But modern architecture is engrossed in its functionality; presenting all its aspects it further gives way to amazing forms and efficiency in lieu of fundamental architectural value. Therefore, the criterion for judgment for its success and failure relies on data and eye-opening exterior forms. Architecture slowly becomes a machine that has no warmth and introspection. No, rather it strives to resemble a machine.

Humankind has witnessed several historic, life-changing episodes such as industrialisation, colonisation and wars, and society has always adapted to such significant milestones fruitfully. Over the years architecture too, has been a witness the very same happenings, and has shaped itself accordingly to suit the times.

Modern civilization, argues Franco "Bifo" Berardi, can be understood as a colonization of reality through laws. This included not only law in the strict sense—whose statutes sought to define a norm to regulate and 'normalize' social activity—but also the scientific laws that, for this Italian philosopher, aimed to "reduce the becoming of physical matter to the repetition of a model" (Berardi, 2018:40), thereby overcoming natural chaos through reason and measure (which share the Latin root ratio).

Description
This course brings together key architectural photographers and their contributions across three historical periods: pioneers (1826–1900), modernists (1900–1950), and contemporaries (1950–present).
