Description
The emphasis of the course is on the study and analysis of buildings through a series of site visits and tours of the city of Sydney. These tours will be led by experts on architecture and the urban form of Sydney. The aim is to familiarise students with the built history of Sydney, its important architectural landmarks and the pertinent issues relating to these landmarks. The course will cover pre-settlement inhabitation, early settlement plans and colonial architecture, nineteen-century civic buildings, mercantile capitalism and its buildings, and the modern, post-modern and contemporary city. The course will consist of both class discussion and city tours, with written and illustrated assignment work.
