ARC 294 Introduction to the Development of Architecture – 3 Credit Hours. Remote Instruction.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is designed for students interested in architectural history and theory yet pursuing majors outside of the formal study of architecture. As such, the content in this course is more diverse than a more traditionally formatted Introduction to Architecture class might be. The course material will primarily be delivered by two distinct methods: Lectures and small discussion groups. The lectures will cover a range of topics including fundamental lessons important to understanding the development of architecture, related to time, place and culture. In these instances, practical experiences and applied research will be shared, offering a broader demonstration of the circumstantial relationship between architecture and related fields of study. The discussions and assignments will give students an opportunity to reinforce their understanding of the content delivered in the lectures. All students will be evaluated based on their ability to comprehend course content and demonstrate an ability to relate it to a broader societal context. This can be achieved through class participation, exercises as well as final presentation.
