Using texts written in a variety of cultural and historical contexts, this course considers the architectural manifesto as a genre; as a means of articulating architectural theory and offering critique; and as a tool used by architects to promote their work and profession. We will consider latent and explicit ideologies within manifestos, the gaps and continuities between written and built work, and the status of architectural argumentation today.
