1	The student will be able to critically analyze the historical relation between representational and architectural space.
2	The student will be able to explain the changes in architectural space with a distinct relationship to the pictorial representation that includes a variety of historical periods from Renaissance to present.
3	The student will eb able to know about the debate of “the origin of the work of art,” and to improve a critical look on this debate from an architectural point of view.
4	The student will eb able to analyze the importance of digital space and virtual reality in terms of the relation between representational and architectural space.
5	The student will be able to interpret architectural production within the broader context of artistic creation.

Course Description

This course explores the intersectional territory of pictorial art and architectural space by means of their common theoretical basis and interrelated practices. This intersection nurtures the distinct territories of different disciplines in return. The explorative journey throughout the course includes a variety of historical periods from the Renaissance to the twentyfirst century and concentrates on selected examples.
