The curriculum of the course "Theory 3.2" is based on the analysis of selected moments from the 20th century that are paradigmatic for the history of contemporary architectural theory. With particular emphasis on the space of habitation and contemporary modes of living, as well as their role in the construction and transformation of cities, the course covers the key texts/manifestos that have shaped architectural production in the 20th century. It considers the cultural, social, and political influences on construction, especially in the context of collective housing programs.
