Credit: 3 hours.

Introduces the architecture, monumental arts, and urbanism of Byzantium and medieval western Europe from c. 300-1500, using a comparative approach. We will learn about Byzantium’s domed churches and robust cities, Europe’s Romanesque monasteries and pilgrimage destinations, and its soaring Gothic cathedrals, fortresses, and cities. It integrates architecture with the study of the roles of secular and ecclesiastical authority, design and technological developments, religious performance and observance, warfare and trade between regions, and developing urbanism.

Same as ARTH 412 and MDVL 412. 3 undergraduate hours. 3 graduate hours. Prerequisite: ARCH 210 or ARTH 111.
