ARCH 567 World Architecture 1
History and theory of architecture and design that span a chronological period from prehistory to the nineteenth century in Western and non-Western societies surveyed. The course traces history with a process of focused explorations into diverse cultures, geographies, and places that cut through many layers of historical time. When considered together, these explorations contribute to an understanding of architecture as a deeply bound discipline with components that range from the artifacts of everyday life and ritual, to building traditions and practices, to the larger forces of geography and the design of entire cities.
