Om emnet
Sverre Fehn has conventionally been celebrated for his authorial power and metaphysical approach. This image that we have of him is bolstered by his deft sketches and captivating lectures. But this hagiography has mostly run its course, and on the celebration of the 100th anniversary of his birth, it is increasingly relevant to understand the physical context in which the work was produced, and the ideas that facilitated the studio environment that produced them. In collaboration with the National Museum, we will delve into materials that have previously remained underexamined, with the goal of understanding the studio environment from which they spring.
Læringsutbytte
Knowledge: The course offers critical knowledge of architectural history and historiography through the study of an unexamined archive, by identifying the various types of materials commonly found in an architectural archive, such as drawing, models, photographs and correspondence.
Skills: The ability to critically analyze archival materials to derive architectural insights, narratives, and contexts, as well as to distinguish between primary and secondary sources and evaluate their relevance and reliability in architectural research.
General competence: The aim is to enable students to be confident researchers able to command, apply and present contemporary perspectives on a historical material.
