- Description
- This course surveys the built environment throughout history and across different cultures and geographies worldwide. Emphasis is on the role of architecture, and allied disciplines such as urban design and planning, in enabling colonial expansion and domination of non-western cultures. This historical survey ends with an assessment and understanding of contemporary architectural practice, along with licensing pathways and academic and professional trajectories.
