Steady and rapid changes, similar and contrasting ideas and their reflections in art & and architecture will be discussed in the course.

Course Objectives:

This course aims to examine how the similar and contrasting ideas are reflected in art & architecture. Weekly lectures are not thought as closed entities but as complementing each other. Besides providing students with general architectural and cultural knowledge and enabling them to exercise critical thinking, this course also supplements design studios through investigating cause and effect relationship in historical cases.

A student who is not there at the moment when the attendance is taken and does not sign the form in person cannot claim presence for that course hour.
