ARTS 370 - History of Sustainable Architecture


Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 3 Hours

New Course Added 05.01.08

Addressing the intersecting histories of environmentalism and of architecture, this course examines the contested origins of environmentalism as a global movement and environmentalism’s impact on architecture. The readings stress synchronic developments around the world, weaving them into a cross-cultural enquiry of architectural environmentalism. This course has four chronological sections: the pre-history of environmental thinking; “Silent Spring” and the counter culture of the 1960s; the 70s energy crises; and the discourse of sustainability.  Enrollment limit: 30.
