    We will explore how architecture affects us, as well as how it informs us about past societies. In what ways does architecture shape our experiences; how does it enhance or detract from human activities? This course will cover material from the pre-historic period through c. 1420 largely in Europe with some examples from Asia, Africa and the Americas. Classes will be a combination of lectures and in-class activities.

    This course examines the art and architecture of Venice from the fifth century until the seventeenth century. We consider the major "nuclei" of the city like Piazza San Marco and personalities that shaped the built and artistic environment -- Codussi, Sansovino, Palladio, & Titian for example. Our study explores the factors that contributed to Venetian art such as political and social context and contact with Byzantine, Islamic and northern Europe.
