HST-H296 Honors Building Urban America: City Design and Architecture
From the ancient cliff dwellings of the Pueblo people to the iconic nineteenth-century street grid of Manhattan, Americans throughout history have built cities distinguished by architectural creativity. This course explores the design history of the buildings and landscapes of Americas early cities, from the pre-contact period through the 1850s. Each week students will study a different early-American city to learn about the environmental, architectural, social, and political forces that shaped these places. They will also practice the techniques used by historians, preservationists, and urban planners to examine the built environment and to find traces of this history in todays cities. This is an Honors-level course.
