Department of Architectural Science (DAS) at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), Beyond Modernism: Contemporary Architecture in Latin America (ASC 900 / AR 8231). The Fanzine Project: Building Analysis. Coordination: Isabella Trindade [2022]

This is an experimental interdisciplinary research into the history-theory classroom. In this project, students study the foundation principles of modern and contemporary design through selected case studies in Latin America to learn about conceptual ideas, formal and spatial principles. Students address how a Latin American building expresses its region and respond to context (climate, location, available materials for construction, programatic needs, ideological implications, etc).

The product of the study is an in-group seminar presentation and accompanying report in a ‘Fanzine format’, which is a self-published, independent, collaborative-produced, creative work.
