| Through a survey of architecture in Canada, this course will explore the relationship between historical developments and wider changes in socio-political, technological and aesthetic realms in architecture and the built environment. From post-contact hybrid Aboriginal architecture to the most recent manifestations of environmentally responsible design, this course will examine architecture as a cultural practice shaped by its own rules and contexts, including spatial forms, materials and discourse. The course will analyze the relationship between these complex contexts and contemporary architectural and associated design practices. |
