| Description: This course presents a survey of architectural monuments from the Medieval Mediterranean world, broadly construed. In this region of great cultural diversity, the richness of architectural production flourishes and morphs with the rise and fall of empires. Beginning with the Late Antique basis of architectural typologies and ending with the Ottoman capture of Constantinople in 1453, we will move through the sacred and secular monuments of Anatolia, Eastern and Southern Europe, the Caucasus, Northern Africa, and the Levant. |
