Context
The introductory course in the history of architecture outlines the contextual framework of culture, built environment and architectural design throughout the historical development of the architectural discipline, stressing out the perspective of urbanism. The course “History of Art, Architecture and Urban design II” is focused on architecture in Early Middle Ages, Romanesque and Gothic periods in Western European countries – Italy, France, Spain, Germany (and Netherlands, Belgium) and Great Britain.
The course provides an overview of building types, plan and section typologies, constructive and formal elements, architectural styles, as well as the development of urban forms. The course is also aimed to develop fundamental vocabulary related to the discipline, critical and analytical tools to examine built environment in relation to its context. The course is structured through series of lectures, discussions, seminars, written assignments, sketches and a final exam.
Content
During lectures, students are introduced to the major historical monuments of the European medieval architecture through:
• their relation to cultural context;
• analysis of architectural forms;
• construction methods;
• their relevance in contemporary culture.
Benefits
Students obtain the formal understanding of various styles, media, and methods of artistic and architectural production of the Romanesque and Gothic periods. After completing the course students gain a contextual understanding of the Romanesque and Gothic art, architecture and culture.
