Paris is called the City of Light not only because of its long history of intellectual and cultural brilliance, but also because of its rich architectural heritage. This course explores the 2,000-year history of Paris from its Celtic origins through the medieval and early modern periods to the major urban transformation of Haussmann and the post World War II era. Lectures on the city's history are supplemented by visits to a number of historic districts and monuments. Pierre David is an architect and Associate Professor at the School of Architecture, Clermont Ferrand. He has been a visiting professor at Harvard and Columbia universities.
