History of Architecture 2:2

  • Number of credits 3 credits
  • Level Bachelor's level
  • Starting Spring Term 2026

About the course

The course provides students with a global overview of the history of architecture from 14th century until the 18th century CE. It covers a period in European architectural history starting with the Italian Renaissance and concluding with the Industrial Revolution. The course begins from a European perspective, but critically contextualizes the dominant narratives of European history with counter-narratives from the global south. The course addresses the history of both buildings and urban design. The nature of historiography as a subjective practice is critically examined through the omissions of the key texts. Alternative narratives of global architectural history are introduced, and examples from the global north and south are presented in dialogue with one another.
