Herodotus and Kirchner’s plan for the city of Babylon is articulated through a series of opposed but complementary territorial strategies: space is concomitantly enclosed and traversed, interrupted and connected, and flattened and folded. This image is in the public domain.

Course Description
This course proposes that investigating the ways in which territory is produced, maintained and strategized, generates conflicts, establishes divisions, and builds identities can lead to a more critical understanding of architecture's role in society. This course is designed to expand the student's literacy in the concept of territory and its relation to the realm of architecture.
