This lecture series examines in chronological order the development of architecture and urban planning across the ages. We will tackle the task of analyzing the driving forces and factors that have determined the cultural change in both the production and the interpretation of the relationship between architecture and the city. Buildings will be addressed as components of the broader city system and the latter will be interpreted in its intertwining with the territorial structure.The lectures in Architecture and Urban History 1 are devoted to the beginnings of architecture and city planning with particular focus to their development from Antiquity to the Early Modern Period.The lecture is accompanied by exercises in which the students dedicate themselves to historical building analysis of selected examples in their particular urban and territorial context.
