ARCH 602 - American Architecture Periods, Styles and Movements

This course examines American architecture from the late 18th, 19th and 20th century, not as an insular phenomenon, but as part of a transnational history of architectural periods, styles and movements. While the course focuses on buildings and architectural projects constructed within the national boundaries of the United States of America between 1776 and the present, this focus necessarily also involves a wider historical and geographical scope, including the North Atlantic region as a cultural sphere; the architecture of colonizing powers; international codes of classical and modernist architecture emanating from Europe; and the architecture of regions eventually conquered by the United States.

Prerequisite(s) ARCH 521 or permission of the Program Director.
