This course introduces students to architecture as a cultural and intellectual undertaking, as well as a prime contributor to the design of our built world. Lectures, media presentations readings, assignments, and other explorations will provide students with opportunities to develop architectural vocabulary and an understanding of architectural concepts. Through such lenses and activities they will evolve insights into the theoretical, historical, economic, and technological aspects of architecture as they have evolved over time. This is a lower level liberal elective course.
