Historical study of the city’s key buildings, infrastructure, real estate development, and municipal planning. This course traces New York’s history from a village to a city that is the commercial and cultural hub of the nation. In our built-up urban environment, appreciation and knowledge of historic building is essential for the architect. Recognizing period styles and forms allows the architect to design new buildings within their context. More importantly, understanding past construction technologies and materials enables the architect to adapt and reuse existing buildings for current programs. Rehabilitation of the old saves today’s resources and promotes sustainability.
