This course encourages a closer look at the emergence of architectural commonalities and differences within the span of a “time cut.” By discussing examples of architectural innovations representing different parts of the world c.1000 CE, for example, we hope to better understand how social, cultural, and economic interactions on a global scale are essential pieces that form our global history and thus explore the relationship between architecture and culture around the globe, placing peoples from disparate continents in relationship with each other.
