Course objectives supported by learning outcomes

The interpretation of the history of architecture with an overlap into other fields is devoted to the basic development of settlement and its forms with a special focus on key periods in the history of the building culture of the European civilization. After completing the course, students will be able to understand the value structure of buildings, which they will encounter in practice. The interpretation is focused on categorical concepts and their place in thinking about the built environment. The graduate will be able to place individual architectural scenes into historical and cultural-civilizational contexts, and not only on the basis of external forms of expression.
