Fall 2019
Taught By: Shefali Judeline Jauhar
Section: B
CRN: 2730
Credits: 3
This course will investigate the history of architecture and interiors from the mid-nineteenth to the early twenty-first centuries. The aim will be to challenge students to explore and appreciate major social, cultural and technological shifts, through the study of architecture and interiors. Among themes we will address are: modernity and modernization, tradition and continuity, colonialism, orientalism, design and decoration, class, gender, national identity and sustainability. Even as by necessity most of our readings will concern developments in Northern Europe and America, students will be encouraged to think beyond these boundaries and to consider a much broader geographical context. Requirements will be built around three short papers designed to demonstrate students’ understanding of and engagement with class material.
