Presentation
Teoria 2.2 (Theory of Architecture) continues from Theory of Architecture 2.1, moving from the formation of the Modern Movement to its consolidation, its political use and its first crisis. It belongs to the field of architectural theory and criticism, focusing on the period from 1923 to the closure of the SAAL Programme in 1976, and takes collective housing as its through-line. It is a course unit on the analysis of discourses and methods and it addresses the critical reading of primary sources.

Objectives
Objectives
Identify and historically contextualise the main texts, authors and critical positions produced between 1923 and 1976, across the arc from the consolidation of the Modern Movement to its first revision. Precisely define the operative concepts introduced by these texts - free plan, cell, collective service, existenzminimum, social condenser, total institution, participation - and distinguish their respective fields of application. Critically read a primary source, situating it within the debate to which it responds. Recognise how distinct political regimes instrumentalised architecture, and why formal language does not guarantee the politics of a building. Construct and publicly defend a well-founded argument, responding to objections and revising one's position when the evidence warrants it. Use sources ethically, transparently and critically, including those generated by GenAI systems, while taking responsibility for the accuracy of the material presented.

Teaching methodologies
Teaching methodologies
All contact hours of this unit are theoretical teaching (T). The methodologies described take place through lectures, guided discussion and seminar. The exercises are carried out as the student's autonomous work, within the dedicated hours. a) Lectures close with a synthesis that converts the content into an operative question addressed to the ongoing work in the Design Studio unit. b) The study visits are coordinated transversally. c) The exercises rest on analytical redrawing at the same scale and on paired comparison, not on the description of works. d) The visits constitute lectures delivered outside the premises, with guided commentary by the teacher. e) Critical GenAI literacy. f) Moodle platform for deposit of primary texts, reading guides, briefs and returned assessments - inverted classroom.
