Melted Stone: Archeology of Reinforced Concrete Construction

Reinforced concrete - the material that surrounds today's world. Developed in the 20th century, reinforced concrete is a material which for all its common appearances is filled with mystery. Concrete, beginning as liquid cement which undergoes a chemical reaction to solidify and mold in place, is a different construction technique to both layering of stones and wire frameworks. By exactly what process did concrete casting, in one sense a reproductive technique, find itself replaced by masonry, and gloriously develop into a material of modern construction? Layering the history of construction methods with historical theory, this course aims to reenact in vivid detail the birthplace of reinforced concrete. As the whispers of its demise begin to be heard in the early 21st century, in order to understand what defined the 20th century we look to the origins of this material.

(Learning Objectives)
The goals of this course are to look back the history of reinforced architecture,and to predict the future of the architecture.

(Learning activities outside of classroom)
Before/after each class meeting, students will be expected to spend two hours to understand the course content.

(Grading Criteria /Policies)
Your overall grade in the class will be decided based on the Term-end examination.
