Course overview
This course aims to equip students with a foundational knowledge of architecture, landscapes and cities from antiquity to the late nineteenth century with increasing emphasis on the global transmission of ideas that are materialised in the built environment. By examining projects within their social, political, technological, economic and environmental context, students will develop skills in the contextual and spatial analysis of the built environment. These skills will be applied in research and communicated in academic writing tasks and supported by discipline specific modes of analysis and representation. This course aligns with the program’s intent to critically engage students with diverse historical, theoretical and cultural perspectives on design to prepare for global practice.
