Beyond Antiquity: Architecture 400-1400

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Beyond Antiquity: Architecture 400-1400
Leerdoelen	1. Basic knowledge of and insight in the development of European architecture of the Middle Ages. 2. Basic knowledge of relevant terminology. 3. Ability to roughly identify, in terms of chronology and geography, typical buildings from this period.
Omschrijving	The course will offer an overview of a thousand years of architecture from the early-Christian period and the Middle Ages, inclusive of the Byzantine era. The focus will be mainly on sacred architecture, but attention will also be paid to the development of a distinct secular architecture in the later Middle Ages as the formative years of the modern era. The tutorials will discuss aspects such as liturgical function, symbolic meanings, building techniques as well as the formation of cities, hotspots of a new urbane culture since its decline in late Antiquity. Students are required to prepare themselves by reading a selection of texts, both source material in translation and secondary literature.
