If you are unsure whether you are sufficiently prepared, please see me. We'll grapple with those questions as we explore the history of architecture in America from earliest settlement to the present moment.
Field trips The best way to learn about architecture is to look at it.
We'll also plan three field trips on Fridays or Saturdays outside the regular class period. On those weeks, one regular class meeting will be canceled as indicated on the syllabus. The first trip will explore rural landscapes in northeastern Ohio, the second will focus on the surprisingly rich architectural history of downtown Youngstown, and the third will visit the nationally-renowned nineteenth and twentieth century built environment of Pittsburgh. Readings and discussion Discussion and questions are encouraged at all times. Readings for each week are indicated on this syllabus.
