HAA 42P - Architecture through the Ages: Notre-Dame de Paris

Jeffrey Hamburger

The course — for which there are no prerequisites of any kind — considers the development of European architecture from antiquity to the present, with emphasis on the architecture of the High Middle Ages (12th and 13th centuries) as well as on its critical reception in the modern period, by tracing the cathedral’s construction, transformation, and restoration in dialogue with its changing urban context, as well as debates over its reconstruction following the fire of 2019.
