Expanded Course Description
| This course, which considers the art of building in the ancient world of Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, and in the medieval world from the Early Christian and Byzantine periods through the Romanesque and Gothic eras, fulfills the Arts and Letters Group satisfying requirement. Students will be introduced to the entire ancient and medieval history of Western architecture through the course text and reading packet. The lectures themselves will examine a selected number of periods and monument, and these will be considered in depth.
The lectures are organized chronologically beginning with the earliest Egyptian pyramids (c. 2600BC) and ending with the great Gothic cathedrals of the high and later Middle Ages (c.1200-1300 AD). Each focus monument, together with comparative supporting monuments, will be discussed in relation to such essentials of architecture as form, style, structure, materials, construction, function and meaning. The aim of this multi-pronged analysis is to answer the following very basic question: "Why does the building look the way it does?" Analysis of both "focus" and "supporting" monuments will reveal that numerous factors work in concert to give a building or site its distinctive character and shape. The course has no pre-requisites and is designed for majors from all areas.
