AH 107 - Ancient Architecture

Institution:

University of Rochester

Subject:

Description:

This offering introduces architecture of the ancient world with a focus on Egypt, Mesopotamia, the Bronze Age Aegean, Greece and Rome. Of particular interest is the creation and development of urbanism in which spaces and buildings are expressions of political, social, economic and religious aspects of the cultures. Due consideration will be made of the environment as a source not only of materials (and their construction techniques), but also relating to the meaning of buildings and the world view of the cultures.
