Description
This course will provide students with a basic survey of the history of Architecture, from Roman times through the 20th Century, using the cities of Florence, Siena and Rome as a case study of major movements and issues in architectural and urban design. We will examine the city of Florence from its earliest foundations as a Roman military colony through its great Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque monuments that still define the city today. We will finish the course by looking at the interventions of Poggi and Michelucci in the 19th and 20th Centuries.
