Course Description

To be human is to be `placed’ in the world, both in a `natural’ and `built’ environment. Our vision of what it means to be human shapes what we build, especially in relation to the natural environment. Our buildings, from the humblest shack to the grandest Cathedral, make moral statements. This course surveys historical and contemporary theories of how humans are to build, whether it be, e.g. homes, cities, monuments, or churches.
