2. Summary
This course will examine world architecture throughout the
ages. Presented according to themes rather than chronology,
the course will look not only at the buildings themselves and the
moments in architectural history that they represent, but also the
people who built them and the events that were going on around
them. Each new building will reveal a story about the culture and
people who created it while also providing comparison for the
architecture and history surrounding ourselves in New York City.
10. Course Goals
Increase appreciation and familiarity with different
culture and people through the history of their
architecture.
Augment learning and interest in other school
subjects through additional layers of context (cultural
awareness, historical context, political influence).
