: ACE-1-AH1 This course surveys the history of British, European and American architecture, from Greek antiquity to the present day. Semester 1 starts with Greek and Roman architecture, the architecture of the Middle Ages and the first great re-evaluation of Antiquity in the Italian Renaissance. It goes on to survey the Renaissance in Britain and northern Europe and the subsequent influence of the Italian Baroque in these areas. Later, the dialogue between developments and ideas in these countries and their respective responses to Antiquity form the focal point of Semester 1, with an examination of the theoretical, cultural and stylistic aspects of the architecture of the Enlightenment. Semester 2 opens with a survey of the stylistic revivals that dominated architecture in the early nineteenth century and focuses in particular on the 'Battle of the Styles' in Britain. It also introduces the apparently contradictory theme of modernity in architecture and discusses the nineteenth century development of new and more sophisticated typologies along with the new materials and technologies that made this possible. The revivalist and the modern are also discussed in terms of the conflict between industrial and anti-industrial that saw the architectural technology of the Crystal Palace juxtaposed with the emergence of the Arts and Crafts Movement. The course traces the complex ideas that lie behind the emergence of Modernism in the early decades of the 20th century. It concludes with lectures on the revision of Modernism in the 1950's and 60's and the recent emergence of a Post-modern consciousness. Throughout the course the technologies of building and the emergence of the architectural profession are recurring themes. Excursions into the related fields of landscape architecture and urban design necessarily appear from time to time. Entry Requirements ? This course is not accepting further student enrolments.

: ACE-1-AH1A This course surveys the history of British and European architecture, concentrating on the period from Greek antiquity to the neoclassical period of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The early lectures focus on Greek and Roman architecture, the architecture of eastern and western christendom in the Middle Ages as well as the secular architecture of that period. This section finishes with the first great re-evaluation of Antiquity in the the Italian Renaissance. The later lectures survey the Renaissance in Britain and northern Europe and the subsequent influence of the Italian Baroque in these areas. Later, the dialogue between developments and ideas in these countries and their respective responses to Antiquity forms the culmination of the course, which considers the theoretical, cultural and stylistic aspects of the architecture of the Enlightenment. The technologies of building and the emergence of the architectural profession are themes which recur during the lecture course.

: ACE-2-AH2A The theme of the course is building in the city. The course looks at a number of Italian Renaissance cities, between 1350 and 1650, paying particular attention to Florence and Rome. The study of Paris that follows traces the developments of the architectural forms of Absolutism and of bourgeois domesticity between 1600 and 1800. The theoretical and historical context of these architectural events is discussed. The course selects some of the major social and cultural transitions over four centuries and analyses the urban forms that went with them. Chronological overlap provides linkage and continuity between the sections and cities under discussion

: ACE-2-AH2B The theme of the course is Building in the City. It considers architecture in urban contexts, between the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries. The course is not a history of town planning. It selects some of the major social and cultural transitions over the past two hundred years and analyses the urban forms that went with them. Industrialisation and its conflicts, empire and social provision are the principal themes of the earlier part of the course. Glasgow serves as the case study. The second half of the course considers the modern City as a global phenomenon where multiplying architectural typologies addressing social needs and celebrating the post-industrial economy are found. The theoretical and historical context of architectural events in the City are treated throughout the course.
