Course Description The study of the history of the built environment provides a general understanding on how human societies have adapted the form of the built environment to their unique cultural, political, economic, climatic, and environmental challenges across time. This is the second of two courses which explore the history of the built environment through the lens of the six global climatic zones, providing an opportunity to explore the built environment across the world and throughout various cultures. This course provides an overview of the history of the built environment at the city, building, and landscape scales and covers the built environment in selected climates. Students will learn examples from the past to help inform solutions to the multiple and complex challenges that our built environment faces today and in the future. This is the second course out of two courses, and they are organized in modules that correspond to different climatic zones. These are: 1. Hot and dry 2. Hot and humid 3. Cold and dry 4. Cold and humid 5. Temperate and dry 6. Temperate and humid This second course includes the last three climate zones (cold and humid, temperate and dry, and temperate and humid). In addition, this course includes a global module that corresponds to history periods when characteristics of the built environment became globalized. For cold and humid climates, this course focuses on civilizations that flourished in high latitudes/elevations, including Native Nations of North America, the Inca Empire, and the Russian Empire. For temperate and dry climates, we focus on civilizations that emerged in Mediterranean Europe and study Ancient Rome, the Byzantine Empire, the Carolingian Empire, and the Renaissance. For temperate and humid, we explore Chinese Dynasties, Ancient Japan, Reformation and 1Counterreformation, and Colonial U.S. The global module includes the Age of Enlightenment, Colonialism and Globalization, and the Industrial Revolution. Prerequisites No prerequisites are required. As this is an online course so students will require a computer, reliable internet connection, and working knowledge of D2L are expected of all students.
