This lecture class surveys the practice of architecture in Europe and America
from 1750 to 1914. It looks at the economic, social and political forces that
led to the creation of new building types, institutions and technologies
peculiar to the nineteenth-century by focusing on figures and movements such as
Schinkel, Ruskin, Viollet-le-Duc, Frank Lloyd Wright, Haussmann's Paris,
Olmsted's Central Park, the Gothic Revival, Arts and Crafts, and Art Nouveau. A
particular emphasis will be placed upon the architect's role as a critic
seeking social reform. Valuable for anyone concerned with design.
