과목 설명

Historical overview of India and South Asia's global architectural histories from the ancient to the modern periods. While focusing predominantly on architectural sites in India, examine architecture at multiple sites across the globe which share connected histories with South Asia. We live in a world of nation states and are shaped by national histories. However, in the arc of human history, nation states are of recent vintage. Examine India's global architectural histories not only through comparison but, in the words of historian Sanjay Subrahmanyam, "by seeking out the at times fragile threads that connected" India to "the globe." Capturing the mobility of populations, traders, conquerors, missionaries, pilgrims, tourists, colonists, architects, artists, scholars, religion, merchandise, art, architecture, and ideas, we show that South Asia's global architectural histories are themselves the complex products of varied histories of cultural encounters.

A HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN 20 BUILDINGS

ARTHIST 210

Why were the ancient Egyptians obsessed with building elaborate tombs? Was the Taj Mahal really a monument to love? Why do the Greeks want the Parthenon marbles returned? Was Frank Lloyd Wright "modern?" How have buildings reflected and shaped the historical forces of the modern age, from colonialism, to industrialization, to globalization? Take a journey through space and time and explore the history of the world through its great buildings. Learn to recognize, analyze, and question the dynamic interaction between culture, politics, religion, and architectural form. Perhaps more than any other visual art, architecture is alive. Buildings shapeshift over decades, centuries, millennia. They stand as both witnesses to and agents of historical change. Unpack our buildings' histories to reveal their role in our shared human story.
