HART373 Architecture of Boston 3 cr.


This course explores Boston’s architectural landscape from pre-Colonial times to the twenty-first century. We identify the local geographical, industrial, cultural, social, and economic factors that uniquely shaped Boston’s development, and will situate the city’s growth within the context of larger national trends. Topics include individual neighborhoods, local styles and revivals, as well as individual architects that shaped the city, from Charles Bulfinch, H.H. Richardson, and Frederick Law
Olmsted to Anne Spirn, Don Stull, and Meejin Yoon. Walking tours and on-site drawings sessions complement classroom learning.

Prerequisites: HART100
