ARCH 1502: Global Arts/Humanities: Global Architecture, Culture, and Environment
University of North Carolina, Charlotte
All Global Theme courses explore the central, unifying question of what it means to be a citizen of the world. Through the study of one or more different peoples, societies or cultures across the globe, students will be able to better understand themselves as part of a complex, interconnected world. ARCH 1502 examines architecture as a visual practice, looking at buildings not as inert objects, but as weighty visual constructs that hold cultural and environmental meaning for individuals and societies. ARCH 1502 allows students to develop an interdisciplinary perspective on the role and influence of architecture in society and the philosophical ideas that give buildings and places meaning.
