DFN 2111 - Architecture Culture I: Prehistory through Gothic with an Introduction to Non-Western Traditions

Institution:

Southern Polytechnic State University

Subject:

Description:

The history of architecture is presented as a collection of buildings, each of which is seen as a concrete solution to a given set of culturally derived problems and issues. These buildings, as precedents, are not to be analyzed based on composition or aesthetic image, but rather as design solutions to complex socio-cultural problems. History is used as a didactic device to aid the design student in problem solving by presenting examples of how architects have successfully transformed the intellectual concerns of their day into built form.
