Course specific prerequisites
Basic course in History of Architecture
Aim
The course develops architectural theory in a material context. Consequently, the identity of the architect is viewed in our material culture and the architectural history is enlightened along the development of science and technology. The interaction of systematic reflections and built practise make us see fundamental patterns that lead to a more profound understanding. It is as if matter tries to teach us.
Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- Reflect on the interplay between historically and geographically diverse material cultures and their built structures.
