Prerequisite(s): ARTH 110, ENGL 123.


ARLH 236 European Architecture: 1400-1750 “Architecture aims at the eternal,” said Sir Chris- topher Wren. Renaissance architects pursued this goal through the vehicle of an ancient and uncannily compelling language of architecture known as the classical. This course examines the development of that language in buildings, designs, city plans and architectural theories from 15th-century Florence to 18th-century England. The social, political, and religious


contexts of Renaissance and Baroque architecture are given special consideration. Prerequisite(s): ARTH 110, ENGL 123.


ARLH 306 Reading Urban Form This course examines cities, the theaters in which his- tory performs. The processes of building and rebuilding leave behind countless layers of evidence. Reading urban form is a key to understanding the real meaning of places. This course offers a hands-on exploration of transformations and continuities in urban design over two millennia from some of the richest examples in the world. Prerequisite(s): ARTH 110, ENGL 123.


ARLH 307 American Architecture and Urbanism This course examines North American architecture and urbanism from Colonial times to the present. Themes include domesticity, technology, commerce, politics, religion and institutional form. Special attention is given to such issues as the transmission and transformation of European influences, the development of regional patterns and the emergence of uniquely American architectural and urban forms. Directed research is a significant part of the course. Prerequisite(s): ARTH 110, ENGL 123.


ARLH 308 History of Urban Form This course surveys urban form from its origins in ancient Mesopotamia to the controversies over con- temporary urbanism and also analyzes ideal cities. Architecture, public space, city planning and pub- lic works are considered in relation to the social, political, economic and religious context of the city. Prerequisite(s): ARTH 110, ENGL 123.


ARLH 309 Villa and Garden The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Alhambra, Ver- sailles, Monticello and Falling Water all are products of a restless longing for a peaceful and contemplative life in the country, where art and nature coexist in ideal harmony. This course explores the architectural and social history of country houses, villas and gardens from antiquity to the 21st century. Special attention is given to garden literature, landscape theory, the rise of public parks and the development of suburbia. Prerequisite(s): ARTH 110, ENGL 123.


ARLH 310 American Vernacular Architecture This course examines the history, characteristics and meanings of North American vernacular architecture, in particular, the majority of the built domain that does not exemplify academic “high style” design. Topics include ethnic traditions in built form, the architecture of traditional American houses, agrarian, industrial and commercial buildings, the influence of the automobile on the built environment, and issues of vernacular landscape. Prerequisite(s): ARTH 110, ENGL 123.


ARLH 311 The American City Cities represent the greatest expression of the human desire to build, combining complex architectural and urbanistic systems. Since colonial times, American cities have evolved away from the historic European models to define a distinct approach to urban form. This course examines the evolution of American cities from the 17th century to the present, analyzing the significant historical forces that have shaped modern American urban environments. Prerequisite(s): Any 200-level ARLH/ARTH course.


ARLH 315 British Colonial Architecture in America Students investigate historical, architectural and other factors that shaped the built environment of British colonial America.

Topics related to building preservation of key colonial monuments also are addressed. Prerequisite(s): ARLH 208 or ARTH 207.


ARLH 321 Ancient Architecture in Context The ancient Greeks and Romans developed a remark- able range of building types to accommodate their religious, political and social practices. This course approaches ancient Greek and Roman architecture by


considering how the intended use of these structures related to architectural form, decoration and location. Particular emphasis is placed on the value of primary sources and archaeological material in enriching the understanding of built form during these eras. Prerequisite(s): ARTH 110, ENGL 123.


ARLH 325 Islamic Art and Architecture This course examines the evolution of art and architec- ture in the medieval Islamic world using a chronological and regional approach, ranging from the large unified empires of the Umayyads and Abbasids to the smaller successor states in Islamic Spain, sub-Saharan Africa and Mughal India.
