Course Description:
Like texts or speeches, buildings and structures communicate messages to their audiences. Using steel and cement, floor plans and pathways, colors and light, physical structures affect the people that see them and inhabit them. In this course, we will study rhetorical methodologies and explore scholarly work on space and place. We will examine the meaningful spaces in our own lives and analyze the ways in which they silently communicate their messages. We will use these analyses to build arguments in presentation and essay projects. |
