Overview
This is an advanced course that sets out to investigate the complexity of the designed environment in order to build a common knowledge base for future architects, designers, landscape architects, planners and others involved in the procurement and management of the designed physical environment. Although the course assumes an outline knowledge of the history of architecture, cities and landscapes, additional readings would allow others to benefit from the course. The course investigates the forces and ideas that have shaped, material culture, architecture, the city, and the landscape and gardens from antiquity to the present. Particular emphasis is placed on the interaction and inter-dependencies of the range of different scales, from the architectural space of the interior through to the wider landscape.
