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.
