With numerous illustrations, this class will explain the rationale of many of the forms and details that give character to colonial works, both northern and southern. Emphasis will be placed on domestic architecture, demonstrating how their design features, when properly applied, can serve to enhance literate, if not creative, contemporary modern versions.This is Part I of a two-part course. You can watch Part II here.
1. Survey a variety of examples of colonial architecture.
2. Understand the forms and details of colonial works.
