The architectural history of North America offers an opportunity to observe the evolution of distinct architectural traditions during the relatively restricted period of the last four centuries. This course aims to give an overview of building in North America, whereby we shall focus on the development of typically American building types such as the campus university or the skyscraper.
The structure of this course consists of chapters of architecture and urban planning. After a 'relaunch' the lecture's concept will be based on chronolgy from the upcoming summer semester 2015. The discussion of typical American building styles will be supplemented by emphasized topic-related architects.
