Expanded Course Description
This course will introduce fundamental concepts of western and largely European or international architecture from the Renaissance (c. 1400) to the present. It is designed for those students who are considering more advanced study in art/architectural history as well as for those who want a general understanding of how the built environment engages its surrounding culture. As a Humanities/Art and Letters course, it examines selected buildings to address key historic periods and architectural movements, particularly with respect to how their visual and technical properties have engaged the cultural, economic, and political forces of their day. Consideration will also be given to how the architecture often engaged historic precedent while simultaneously forging new ground. The course has no pre-requisites and is designed for majors from all areas.
