THE HISTORY OF CHINESE ARCHITECTURE/ 2credits/ required From the viewpoints of history, architecture is a mirror of human's socio- culture. It reflects a certain kind of place constructed by a certain group of people for their own socio-culture in a certain time and space. In this sense, when we try to understand architecture, we hope to understand what kind of place was built, why it was built, how it was built, when it was built, where it was built and who built it. Based on this, the history of architecture can be seen as the process of the transformation of architecture built and then used by humans for their own needs. Therefore, the main purpose of this course is to interpret the relationship between the transformations of Chinese Architecture and their socio-cultural meanings, so as to let students to widen their views on the history of Chinese Architecture.
