Main themes
The course will highlight the comparisons it is possible to make between the different architectural typologies developed by different civilisations throughout the world. The aim is to provoke thought about the shared intellectual and spiritual stock of human creations, to consider relationships of influence or, to the contrary, unconnected coincidences, to show the linked diversity and commonality that emerge from these, all in the perspective of global history.

By the end of the course students will be in a position to understand the resemblances and differences that exist through a number of civilisations for the same architectural typology. They will be able to evaluate the characteristics specific to each typology and thus to situate them in the field of architectural creation in the broader sense. Students will also acquire a basic knowledge of the architectural characteristics of non-European civilisations. |
