| AIM OF THE COURSE |
On completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- account for how Berlin, during both historical and modern time, has developed into a big city and to a cultural centre in Europe
- analyse and critically review Berlin's development and importance in a European and Western cultural context
- identify and describe a selection of buildings, works of art and institutions of the city |
| CONTENTS |
| The fate of the city of Berlin during the 20th century and the memories of war, division and reunification that still remains in the form of locations, buildings, monuments and museums make it one of Europe's more interesting big cities. Berlin is Germany's and Northern Europe's cultural centre, and is today perhaps also the most dynamic city when it comes to urban design and architecture in Europe. In Berlin, there are a large number of museums, art collections and galleries, and artists from all over the world, not least from the Nordic countries, are active in the city. In these circumstances, the course covers architecture, art and general culture that is associated with Berlin. |
| TEACHING |
| The working methods are student active and project-based. During one week of the course, teaching is offered on location in Berlin. In addition to this, the student is expected to study independently. |
| EXAMINATION |
The projects are examined partly through seminars and partly through an individual written assignment. Detailed information about the form and contents of the examination can be found in the study guide for the course.
