The course consists of five seminars organised around central concepts, methods and references within ciritical studies in architecture. In addition there are two tasks of deeper studies: a review of a central work (which the student choses from a literature list), and an essay in which an independent application of the subject area is developed in relation to the students´s own planned or ongoing research project. The tasks are supervised in group and/or individually and presented in a final review session.
