Course Introduction：

‘Modern’ is a fact and phenomenon, and yet a conscious construct. Architectural theorist and historian Alan Colquhoun said, modern architecture “can be understood more specifically as an architecture conscious of its own modernity and striving for changes.” (from Modern Architecture）This lecture series will focus on the construction of architecture as a modern knowledge and discipline, and invite the teachers from the Architectural Association School of Architecture to examine and discuss the construct from the viewpoints of professionalism, institutions, archive, history, aesthetic and education.

Course Introduction in Chinese：

“现代”是一个事实和现象，更是一个自觉的建构。著名建筑理论和历史学家艾伦•科洪曾说，现代建筑“可以被更具体的理解为一种对自身现代性的自觉并努力改变的建筑。”（来自：《现代建筑》）本系列讲座围绕建筑学作为一种现代知识和学科的建构，邀请来自英国建筑联盟学院（AA School）建筑历史与理论方向的教师从职业化、机构制度、文献、历史、美学、教育等多个纬度，对这一建构进行揭示、展开讨论。
