| Many forms of architecture that are familiar to us today -- both religious and secular -- were developed in Europe during the Middle Ages, from the 4th to the 15th centuries. Studying these developments can tell us much about our own architecture, and can also reveal the cultural values, social structures, and design practices of pre-modern Europe. This course will survey the major forms of medieval religious and secular architecture in both Eastern and Western Europe, focusing on how they were built and structured; the choices made in their design and appearance; the multi-faceted relationships between the ways they were used and how they were laid out spatially; and the roles played by patrons and builders in their creation. |
