The course will consider developments in the history and theory of architecture and urbanism, primarily in France, England, and Germany, from the mid eighteenth through the early 20th 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 existi ng cities, housing, new towns, and utopian communities.
