corso|33427

The course is divided into two specific sections: Antiquity, from Hellenic to Roman, Tardoantica and Paleocristiana architecture; the Middle-Ages, from Carolingia to Tardogotica architecture. The aims of the course are to provide a general background by analysing the most important works and their contexts, and, at the same time, to offer the students the necessary instruments and analytical methods necessary for the study and knowledge of the chosen topics. At the end of this course, students who will have both attended classes and passed the final examination, will master the general outlines of the architectural history, including the most significant buildings of the period. Students will manage the specific technical lexicon with a view to correctly describe historical buildings, not only in respect of their general characteristics, but also regarding their constructive, distributive and decorative elements. Taking as a basis the bibliography of reference for the present course and the materials provided to them during classes, students will be able to autonomously study subject matters of relevance. Knowledge and skills that will be acquired by students both during lecture-style classes and by means of in-depth study will make them capable to autonomously assess all the buildings of the historical period of relevance for the purposes of this course. Assessment of students’ knowledge and learning skills will be carried out primarily by means of exam tests.
