Baroque Architecture 1550-1750
ARHA 231 FA
This course covers European architecture and urbanism in the "long" seventeenth-century. Lectures will explore the evolution of Baroque architecture in Italy, beginning with Michelangelo's "mannerism," to include the
various
interpretations and reactions to those developments in Germany, France, and England. Individual works will be discussed as attempts to integrate considerations of purpose, patronage, site requirements, planning,
construction,
and style.
