Subject:

Description:

"We shape our buildings, and afterwards they shape us," Winston Churchill declared in 1943. The relationship between architecture and society has always been crucial to a full understanding of any civilization. The built environment is the most obvious and permanent form of a nation's cultural history. Members of this course will examine the human and natural forces that have molded buildings and will reflect on architecture as an expression of contemporary political and social ideas. From the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries, Britain grew to be the dominant global power, revolutionizing the face of the world and exporting its culture to every continent. This course will cover the British Caribbean, Bahamas, Bermuda, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, India, and the North American colonies from Canada to Georgia. There will be one field trip to Historic Deerfield, Massachusetts on a Saturday. 1.00 units, Lecture
