Construction History

Credit: 3 hours.

Construction History explores 4500 years of human construction, focusing on materials, engineering, and fabrication. It provides an alternative narrative to traditional architecture, linking economics, industry, labor, engineering, and related disciplines. Lectures cover material typologies, production methods, and how they’ve influenced design, the evolution of building science, and the impact of technology on architectural aesthetics and ethics. The course concludes by examining contemporary design and technology issues.
