Students will develop: skills in the understanding and analysis of buildings and places in terms of their context, form, planning, spatial effects, construction, function and social role; a critical perspective of implications within the recent design and artistic production of these societies; and skills in information gathering and critical synthesis, essay and report writing, and visual and oral presentation techniques required for the independent interpretation of these insights.
