What your student will be able to do
- Students keep a looking journal — training attention the way a historian trains it on a text.
Reading buildings and cities from sacred stones to the modern skyline — how structures are made and what the spaces we inhabit form in us. Pairs with Art and Music: pantheon and Parthenon alongside chant and polyphony.
“We call them primitive; their buildings call us temporary.” The course treats architecture as moral formation — the spaces we build shape the people we become.
