Credit Hours: 3 · Undergraduate Lower-Level

This course will explore cities, deemed ideal, and buildings, deemed canonic, that operate as imaginary objects and that, all too often, pass as exemplary models to be emulated, be it as social machines, technical accomplishments, or expressions of cultural, if not political, desires.
