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.

Please note that the course outline and schedule will be updated weekly on the web page, so you should check for clarifications, possible schedule changes, and for supplementary references. PDF files for many of the assigned readings (except for the novels of Sebald) and for some supplementary readings will be available online.

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 and housing. Comparative studies of the connection between people, particular places, and artifact systems are interpreted through architecture, critical regionalism, housing, urban design, material culture, and intangible culture. 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.

Required submissions:

Fieldwork Project: (student presentations begin on April 9)

You will prepare a small project that interprets and represents a particular cultural landscape in Montreal or elsewhere. Be prepared to present your work to your colleagues during the last seminar session. The end-of-term project should have the similar size format of Anne Meredith Berry’s Gros Morne Time Lines (see the pdf file linked to the web page). You can work individually or collaborate with a classmate (maximum team size is two persons). If working collaboratively, you can double the number of pages in your end-of-term project.

Web page book: Gros Morne Time Lines 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. If you are not comfortable using Dreamweaver or if you do not have this program, you may submit jpg 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 (or elsewhere if you have access during the term), with reference to time, place, space, and possibly with reference to other aspects like light, materials, and details. 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.

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 100dpi. 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 100dpi (you must use width multiples of 6”). The final image must be in jpg format (colour or grayscale) at 100pdi for the web page. Your name and your project title must be integrated in the graphic design of your images.

Printed hard copy book: You will also produce a printed book. This will have images at 300dpi (same dimension constraints as above: 6” wide x 8” high) must be provided for printing purposes. This must be a conventionally bound book with a “perfect” type binding, not a folded paper book as described above. Your name and your project title must be integrated in the graphic design of your images. Every student will produce a book with the same cover stock and content stock and with the same dimensions and same portrait orientation and same size narrative text font. The model for this book is the small book “The Schvembly House” (author Tristana Martin Rubio: CL Seminar Project). In other graphic design/layout aspects, you may depart from the constraints of Tristana’s book in consultation with Robert Mellin. Before the end of the term, collaborate with your colleagues to investigate the logistics of printing with just one printer for this small book- not only to save time, but to ensure consistent results.


Every year I receive final printed books with different interpretations of what constitutes 6” x 8”. Please make sure you get this right (152.4mm x 203.2mm).

A point of departure for independent study that may help you to prepare for your end-of-term project for this course 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 hope you fill find time to read at least one novel by mid-term. I will request Searching for Sebald for reserve books at the library. Tristana’s small book (cited above) is reminiscent of the atmosphere of Sebald’s books with regard to text and graphics- elegant simplicity, and memorable work! Also, see Clare Melhuis, “Editorial: Why Anthropology?” in Architectural Design Profile: Architecture and Anthropology [New York: VCH Publishers, 2000, folio NA2543 S6 A6 1996], 7.).

Collaboration:

If you would like to collaborate with your colleagues, you can form a team of two persons to investigate a particular area or neighbourhood or subject in Montreal. However, you will still have to make a substantial individual contribution for your project for this seminar in order to receive a grade. As there are students from different backgrounds participating in the seminar, there should be at least one or two students with a background in architecture or urban design on every student team if you decide to organize your work in small collaborative groups.

Grading:

Text describing your proposed fieldwork project 15% (due February 5)Preliminary review of fieldwork project: 25% (due February 26) (revised)Project Presentation: 10% (April 9/April 16)End-of-term project (web page and printed book): 50% (due April 23)
