Notes

This course invites students to study the exciting history of the development of the city of Paris through the lens of its architecture. From Ancient Roman times to the 19th-century projects of Haussmann and beyond, we will explore key architectural monuments within the context of their urban environments, and as often as possible, on site. Special attention will be given to the social, economic and political forces that helped to shape the appearance of the city throughout its history.
