Cultural Landscapes Seminar Outline Winter Term, 2010

Cultural Landscapes Seminar: ARCH 541 (Selected Topics) Robert Mellin, Associate Professor School of Architecture McGill University Winter Term 2010 [email protected] Meets Tuesdays from 9:30-12:30 in room 206. Office hours by appointment

from Maira Kalman: The Principles of Uncertainty Catalogue Description: An overview of cultural landscapes studies, methodologies, and resources. Comparative studies of the connection between people, particular places, and artifact systems are interpreted through architecture, critical regionalism, and material culture. Precedents for the interpretation of cultural landscapes by architects, ethnologists, anthropologists, folklorists, historians, writers, filmmakers, photographers, and artists are presented.


Course Rationale: This seminar provides the opportunity for an elective for both Professional and Post-professional Masters degree students. Cultural Landscape studies provide helpful context for Professional program thesis projects, especially for the interpretation of project sites and situations. The study of cultural landscapes relates to the content and concerns of all School of Architecture Post-professional program options, again by providing context for the study of architecture in particular situations. Rather than focusing on the study of individual buildings, the focus is instead on understanding and interpreting the artifact system at all scales, reaching beyond the study of form to syndetically interpret meaning and address values. Course webpage: http://www.arch.mcgill.ca/prof/mellin/cl2010.index.html Please note that the course outline and schedule will be updated on the web page. Please remember to check this site weekly for clarifications, for schedule changes, readings (articles available online), and for supplementary references. Pedagogical objectives: This seminar provides an overview of cultural landscapes studies, methodologies, and resources, including analysis and discussion of the work of architects embracing critical regionalism in architecture. Comparative studies of the connection between people, particular places, and artifact systems are interpreted through architecture, critical regionalism, material culture, and intangible culture. Precedents for the interpretation of cultural landscapes by architects, ethnologists, anthropologists, folklorists, historians, writers, filmmakers, photographers, and artists are presented. Rather than focusing on the study of individual buildings, the focus of this course is on understanding and interpreting the artifact system at all scales, reaching beyond the study of form to syndetically interpret meaning and address values. Assignments: Mid-term paper on methodology or annotated bibliography, end-of-term paper interpreting a particular cultural landscape in Montreal or elsewhere. Students are encouraged to connect assignments in the Cultural Landscapes Seminar with their own particular research papers and graduate / post-graduate thesis topics. There are two points of departure for independent study that will help you to prepare for your assignments for this course. The first is an article by Mitchell (2003) on “Medium Theory” (available on the web and as a pdf accessed from the seminar web page: this is a preface to the 2003 Critical Inquiry Symposium). The second involves the novels of Sebald (Austerlitz, or The Rings of Saturn, or The Emigrants) and a particular secondary source (Searching for Sebald: Photography after W. G. Sebald: The Institute for Cultural


Inquiry, Los Angeles, 2007). Sebald’s novels are readily available either from the library or bookstores. I requested Searching for Sebald for reserve books at the library. The mid-term assignment is the preparation of a typed, concise (5-10 pages double-spaced) paper on interpretation / representation that informs the approach to your end-of-term assignment. This paper should provide some background on your readings and should explain any influence on your end-of-term assignment. You may decide to concentrate on Sebald, but if you are already familiar with Sebald, or if you prefer to supplement the readings on Sebald with other readings or other references please let me know. Alternatively, you may prepare an annotated bibliography of similar text length for your mid-term assignment, submitting a paragraph on each book or article you read. Your text should provide an indication of the relevance of the reading to your own research. The mid-term papers are due March 2, 2010. The end-of-term assignment is a paper or project in a format similar to Anne Meredith Berry’s Gros Morne Time Lines (see the pdf file linked to the web page). Hers is a fold out book, but you will produce a web version that requires scrolling to the right (continuous images) on a standard Dreamweaver web page template I will provide that uses a simple table for positioning images. This piece (text, photos, drawings) will feature your documentation and interpretation of a particular area, building, condition, way of living, or artifact in Montreal, with reference to time, place, space, and possibly with reference to other aspects like light, materials, and details. In other words, the assignment is fairly open-ended, informed by hermeneutics and ekphrasis (as will be discussed early in the course), and possibly somewhat risky (see Clare Melhuis, “Editorial: Why Anthropology?,” in Architectural Design Profile: Architecture and Anthropology [New York: VCH Publishers, 2000, folio NA2543 S6 A6 1996], 7.). The main references on the seminar bibliography may also be helpful in this regard. As you will find from your readings on Sebald (see Searching for Sebald), the visual character / layout of text and graphics is very important for this assignment. In consultation with the instructor for this course, the end-of-term assignment may be configured to assist with research for other courses in the School of Architecture (for example, thesis preparation for the M. Arch. Professional Program). End of term assignment format: Each “page” or image on the sample of the assignment format on the course web page is a jpg image 6” wide by 8” high at a resolution of 105dpi. Folded paper in a book was used for continuity in the original document. However, you can enhance the continuity by presenting a continuous image with graphics and text arranged accordingly. For example, if you decide to have 20 pages with the dimensions shown above, you can present one final image that is 120” wide by 8” high at 105dpi (you must use width multiples of 6”). The final image must be in jpg format (colour or grayscale) at 105pdi for the web page, and a second image at 300dpi (same dimension constraints) must be provided for printing purposes. Your name and your project title must be integrated in the graphic design of your images. The end-of-term assignment is due the day before the last class meeting date (jpg images to be placed in a folder with your name on the folder)
