Architecture is a visual and physical expression of civilization. Significant architecture embodies the inspired use of spaces and forms in such a way as to enrich the lives of humanity. This course will introduce to the student an understanding and appreciation of architecture and our built environment through a broad examination of cultural and aesthetic paradigms. The student will be informed of the historic legacy and value of architecture; how it impacts our society today and our daily lives. This couse will employ slides, lectures, and text to familiarize the student with a select group of significant works of architecture of the western world.
