continue into medieval times with the rise of kingdoms and trading empires in both East and West Africa; and continue into colonial times.


ARLH 745 American Vernacular Architecture This course examines the history, characteristics and meaning of vernacular architecture, the 95 percent of the built domain not exemplifying academic “high style” design. Topics include ethnic traditions in built form; the architecture of traditional American houses, agrarian, industrial and commercial buildings; the influ- ence of the automobile on the built environment; and issues of vernacular landscape.


ARLH 755 History of Gender and the Built Environment Built environments help construct, maintain, and even destroy many aspects of human identity, including gender. This seminar course examines how issues of gender have shaped built environments in the West from early historical times to the present. It focuses primarily on the manner in which architecture and space have contributed to social, cultural and political relations predicated on gender. This course challenges graduate students to strengthen their research, critical thinking and leadership skills.


ARLH 756 American Fortified Architecture This seminar course explores the history, theory and technology of American fortified architecture from the colonial period to the early 20th century, as well as the present-day interpretation and use of fortifications as historic sites. Emphasis is placed on coastal fortifica- tions. Students are required to travel to fortified sites in the area for independent research.


ARLH 757 The Islamic City This course focuses on the development, morphology and institutions of the Islamic city as a unique urban phenomenon within the medieval world, exploring the connection between the religion of Islam and the cre- ation of fundamental urban planning principles found throughout the Islamic world. The course explores the relationship of regionalism and local cultural influences on the development of specific building types and forms, from Islamic Spain to India to sub-Saharan Africa.


ARLH 758 Villa and Garden The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Alhambra, Ver- sailles, Monticello and Falling Water are all 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 20th century. Special attention is given to garden literature, landscape theory, the rise of public parks and the development of suburbia.


ARLH 759 Power and the Built Environment This seminar explores the many ways that social, political and economic powers have shaped the built environment and the experience of it throughout his- tory. The embodiment of power is examined within a range of scales, building types and social contexts including urban design, public institutions, commemo- rative monuments and corporate buildings. Extensive readings, class discussions and presentations challenge students to develop their own critical thinking and communication skills.


ARLH 761 American Cultural Landscape This seminar introduces students to a variety of North American landscapes and methods used to analyze them. Everyday homes, highways, factories, farms, stores and recreation areas from the colonial period to the present provide the subject matter. Students explore how the terms “landscape” and “cultural landscape” link an ordinary social group to its spaces.


ARLH 762 Issues in Contemporary Architecture Since the end of World War II, architects, planners, theorists and historians have contributed to a debate about the appropriate direction that architecture and city-building should take. Prompted by post-war reconstruction, political upheavals and the growth of global capitalism, reconsiderations of “modern” architecture created a rich and varied range of design


possibilities. By addressing topics such as the impact of technology, the rise of post-modernism, globalization and regionalism, the development of mega-cities, new urbanism and environmentalism, this course analyzes architecture and urbanism through a highly contextual lens. Strong emphasis is placed on theoretical writings of the period.


ARLH 763 World Vernacular Architecture Vernacular architectural traditions are explored from a global perspective as a broad-ranging, yet selective study of specific cultures and regions. The primary focus of the course is on domestic architecture and settlement forms, but also includes some vernacular religious and ceremonial structures. Through this course, students acquire an appreciation of the range of building traditions found around the world and explore the connection between vernacular architec- tural forms and the societies that created them.


ARLH 770 Documenting the Built Environment This course is intended primarily for students for whom documenting the built environment is a valuable skill. A wide range of lectures, discussions, workshops, fieldwork and assignments explores documentation of buildings and structures from historical, theoretical, aesthetic and practical points of view.


ARLH 775 Savannah: Architecture and Urban History Savannah is a rare American city that possesses a dis- tinctive local identity, yet its evolution mirrors broader trends. This course examines the various historical forces that have shaped the city by investigating different urban and architectural topics in a roughly chronological sequence. Topics include the Savan- nah Plan, Religion, Workers and Slaves, Charitable Institutions, Forts, Industrialization, local house forms, suburbanization and the Preservation movement. This course offers graduate students an opportunity to conduct advanced research using primary documents and to present findings in a formal oral presentation.

Architecture (Undergraduate)


ARCH 101 Introduction to Architecture This lecture/seminar course introduces students to the theories and profession of architecture and encour- ages creative and analytical thought. By considering the entire scope of the discipline and the profession, the course focuses on developing an ability to ask appropriate questions in relation to decision-making


regarding the built environment. Students explore the abstract, spatial, social/cultural, environmental and tectonic concepts that affect the built environment.


ARCH 241 Construction Technology I This course provides an introduction to building mate- rials and their use in wood and masonry construction. The course also promotes an understanding of the various constructed assemblies—both structural and nonstructural—that, when combined, form a complete building. Prerequisite(s): ARCH 101 or INDS 110, and DRAW 115.


ARCH 252 Structures I This course introduces students to the basic principles of the strength of materials, applied mechanics and structural theory as a basis for structural problem solv- ing. Prerequisite(s): MATH 201, PHYS 201.


ARCH 300 Architecture Design Studio I This course is the first in a sequence of architectural design studio courses designed to develop students’ abilities to create meaningful architectural design solutions.
