PIC-315 Hidden City

3 Credits

This course will examine the city as a collective text focusing on New York, Ancient/Renaissance Rome, and Henart's Paris using the architecture of these cities as our primary analytic lens. We will explore how a city can be broken down into its primary components like a column or wall similar to an alphabet within a text. This will be explored through lectures, discussions, drawings, and field trips providing a rare opportunity to see inside some spaces not typically accessible to the public.
