79-227 History of World Architecture

Units: 9.0 Department: History Cross-listed: 48-240 Related URLs: http://www.history.cmu.edu Reflecting the inseparable relation between building and human needs, this course is not only a history of architecture, but also a history through architecture. The design, use, meaning and legacy of a building is conditioned not only by the architect's will or the patron's desire, but also by a complex web of technological, social, cultural, economic, and political factors of the time. This course examines world architecture and urbanism from prehistoric times through the 20th century, including the built environment of Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas.
