Course detail
Art and Architecture
FaVU-UA-LAcad. year: 2023/2024
The course focuses primarily on the period between the two world wars up to the present in Czech and international visual art in terms of its connection with the field of architecture. Especially in recent years, many artists have been using architecture as a "material": exploring the history of architecture, rethinking avant-garde utopias, commenting on the social environment, directly substituting the work of architects or working with one of the main constants of architecture - that is, space.
