Course Objectives: | This course aims to examine the character and context of the built environment and the key works in architecture from the middle ages to the contemporary period and show how architectural works are embedded in their physical and social contexts. In this respect it includes the introduction of history of the architectural and urban environment—its form, function, and representation—addressing cultural/economic/natural factors, settlement patterns, structure, design, planning, and theories of architectural and urban forms. |
