Arts & Sciences
This course uses lectures, demonstrations, imagery and field trips to introduce students to the achievements of architecture in the buildings, bridges, harbors and streets of New York City. This course includes the study of the basics of urban architecture and how they have been applied, revised, or notably invented to construct the landmarks, parks and great architectural accomplishments of the last two centuries in New York City. The art of New York City’s buildings is compared and contrasted to the great architectural works of European cities, and the need for preservation and conservancy is discussed.
