Description:

The rich architecture of public water in urban and rural contexts is a key to the cultural landscape. From the gravity systems of a Roman city, through the rich world of medieval water, and concluding with water powered by outside energy, we will study Western, Arab and Asian water systems. Through architecture, the course will link the technology of water cycles, purity, collection and storage with the aesthetics and rituals of culture. Prerequisite: SOC-2XX
