Course Content
This course is a critical history survey on the conditions (anthropological, geographical, political) generating urban form, patterns and architecture. The course covers a cross-periodical survey; the architectural history of the urban form is studied with a specific emphasis on the city frontiers. It aims to cover multiple meanings of the urban form under three main headings: city and defense (fortifications bastions, garrisons, nuclear shelters), city and trade (customs, ports, tollhouses, entrepots), city and speed (terminals, gates, stations, way stations).
