Architecture III/IV: Connections Across Geographies
This lecture covers the course administration details, including mid-semester assignments and conceptual changes from the last semester, focusing on connections across geographies in architecture since 1400. It delves into the historical evolution of architecture, emphasizing the importance of studying why people build in different places and the changing attitudes towards global corporations, monumental architecture, and sustainability. The lecture also explores the emergence of the Rococo style and its social function, distribution according to use, and the role of the architect in housing individuals according to their social station.
