Art History 266 - ARCHITECTURE IN THE U.S.

A survey of urban, architectural, and landscape design from the seventeenth-century colonies of Spain, Great Britain, and The Netherlands to modernist movements in the first half of the twentieth century that had international reach and forged a distinctively American image. Recurring themes include: the adoption and adaptation of European and other models; the founding and growth of cities (among them Boston, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles); new technologies and building typologies; communities planned for religious, educational, or residential purposes; the development of the architectural profession; individual, institutional, and corporate patronage; and the symbolic meanings associated with built form.
