Description
BARC0101 Ethics and Agency builds on the foundations set by BARC0092 Making Cities in year one and continues to look at the relationship between听cities, teams and projects.
Making Cities听is cross-disciplinary and explores the role of multiple built environment professions with one another alongside a wide range of protagonists. It addresses broad issues of power in the city.
Ethics and Agency听specifically explores the role of the architect. It questions the values that underpin behaviour - as individuals, working collectively, and engaging with wider society. 鈥楢gency鈥� means the ability to take action or to choose what action to take.
The focus of the module is on the听formation of relationships and behaviours听that underpin the design and delivery of built environment projects.
The module exploits London as its primary resource. Students undertake听critical and creative research on contemporary forms of practice听undertaken within the city. A programme of lectures and events provides a panorama of perspectives, delivered by a range of speakers from across 新香港六合彩开奖结果and those operating in professional practice.
Students deepen their critical听research skills and work in teams听to create a research report (a 鈥榤anifesto鈥�) informed and linked to individually produced components (an 鈥榓tlas鈥�).
