Courses

History and theory in architecture are part of the school of architecture curriculum. This section aims to discuss the essentials of theory of architecture, historic treatises, and modern concepts of architecture. Thus, it covers architecture throughout history and the redevelopment of the concepts of architecture along with the history of Architecture and art.

The relationship between design, history and theory will be introduced. We will examine the relationship between design, history and theory in a broad range of online free architectural courses.

All of these subjects, and more are examined with examples to show their influence on architecture. This section provides a foundation for the analytical and critical understanding of design issues. Understanding of the critical design factors can indeed be better explained if introduced through the historical context, perception, communication and meaning of architecture.
