The course will consider developments in the history and
theory of architecture and urbanism, primarily in France,
England, and Germany, from the early eighteenth through the
early twentieth century. Architectural culture will be
discussed as a response to changing political, economic,
and ideological conditions in these national societies. A
central theme is the relationship between concepts of both
historicism and modernity throughout the period. The study
of urbanism will include transformation of existing cities,
housing, new towns, and utopian communities.
