This course will address the traditions of the Western world from the Industrial Revolution until the present, and will be delivered using lectures, videos, discussions, quizzes, and readings. The course examines technological, social, and political changes that have transformed the history of architecture since the late eighteenth century. It also presents major movements, figures, and building typologies, along with a particular emphasis on the evolving city during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. New approaches to representation and its impacts on architecture are also studied, along with the changing role of the architect (including the history of women in architecture). Broad cultural questions of modernity and post-modernity are explored, including such critiques of modernism as critical regionalism (with an emphasis on Japan and Canada). OBJECTIVES - Students are expected to learn of the key concepts and figures that have shaped the course of Western architecture and to become familiar with important works, practitioners, theorists and themes. As history courses are a required part of a professional architecture program, architectural history is understood to be necessary for understanding diverse culture and behaviours.

  • A Walk Through Robson Square
    A WALK THROUGH ROBSON SQUARE As the plans and the overview demonstrate, Robson Square contains three inter-related structures: the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Provincial Government Office Block and the Law Courts. These are integral to a multi-level plaza and garden through which two thoroughfares pass. Indeed, the Office Block is designed in such a way that it is itself a terraced open park. It is adjacent to or actually contains many of the facilities that are essential to Robson Square's overall function as a civic centre. All the roofs of the office block have been landscaped, and most areas within it are accessible to the public, either above or below the level of the streets that transect the square. The public focus of this building-cum-plaza is the area surrounding Robson Street between Hornby and Howe, the area nearest the V AG. Close to the free public skating rink that is positioned under the two plexiglass domes situated below Robson Street is an international food mart that opens onto a plaza. Immediately adjacent to it within the portion of the office block that is constructed beneath Robson Street is a media centre that is equipped with a theatre, conference areas and exhibition spaces. The government office block portion of the complex is set back 150 feet from Robson Street and gradually steps up to a maximum of three storeys at the Smithe Street end of the complex. There is a maximum of three storeys below street level, including service spaces. Within the structure there are open-plan offices accessed by street-like corridors.

    WHARTON REAL ESTATE REVIEW SPRING 2012 Creating a New Suburban Town Center WITOLD RYBCZYNSKI Tougher economic times, lack of consumer confidence, and rising energy prices are likely to curtail distant ex-urban development in the decades to come, and one of the challenges for real estate developers will be to infill and densify suburban areas. Altering zoning and raising densities in existing residential areas will not be easy, however, not only because of neighborhood opposition to change, but also because most housing in the last three decades has been built as part of planned communities. These communities are governed not by municipal regulations, which can (with difficulty) be changed, but by homeowner associations that have been created in order to make change almost impossible. Housing aside, there is also the problem of how to convert suburban commercial development, which has generally occurred in a piecemeal and uncoordinated fashion, into concentrated, walkable, attractive town centers. Despite the current fashion for lifestyle centers that mimic the Main Street environment of small towns, the suburban centers of the future will not necessarily resemble the downtowns of the past. What follows is an example of how out- of-the-box thinking—and a public-private partnership—produced an innovative solution to a complicated problem. The Deal More than three decades ago, recognizing that the growth of the city of Vancouver was constrained by its location on a peninsula, hemmed in by surrounding water and mountains, Metro Vancouver developed a regional plan—theLivable Region Plan—to direct urban growth into surrounding suburban municipalities. Most urbanization was expected to occur in the southeast, down the broad Fraser Valley.

To date, 91 fellowships (one- or two-year appointments) have been awarded to 62 of our nation’s most promising young scholars who share JMC’s mission to reinvigorate education in our nation’s Founding Principles and history.
