This program investigates how historical perspectives can enrich architectural understanding. It approaches architecture not merely as standalone structures, urban spaces, or designs, but as elements deeply connected to their societal contexts and the intellectual discussions they inspire. Participants collaborate with renowned historians and theorists to analyze architectural and urban developments from Early Modern times to the present day. Instead of concentrating on individual creators, stylistic labels, or conventional classifications, the curriculum situates architecture within broader social, ideological, creative, political, and urban frameworks, challenging traditional definitions of architectural subjects and areas of research. The course welcomes both practicing architects and those completing their qualifications, along with graduates from diverse backgrounds including art history, fine arts, history, journalism, geography, and anthropology who seek to deepen their expertise in architectural history or establish a research foundation in this discipline.
