College of Architecture
Georgia Institute of Technology
Summer 2008
A course organized as part of
a three course sequence on the interrelated subjects of
urban design, architecture, and the arts in
Classical Greece and Italy. Aimed primarily at undergraduate students in disciplines
other than architecture, but open to architecture students
as well, its purpose is to provide an intensive on site
investigation of the role that the arts have played in
the development of Italian civilization, and by extension
the influence of this civilization on the historical
development of the visual arts in the western world.
This course is distinguished from the second in the sequence
primarily by its emphasis on the classical period and
on issues of urban planning and design, and their relationship
to architecture, painting and sculpture. This course
has Institute approval for humanities credit.
