Description:

Architecture aims at the eternal, said Sir Christopher 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. Prerequisites: ARTH 110, ENGL 123.
