HAA 1250 Constructing the Gothic: The Later Middle Ages
(offered infrequently)
This course examines the Gothic cathedral from a number of angles: how it was built; what makes it stand up; what medieval patrons, artists, and facilitators had to say about it; its functional requirements as a liturgical center; and how this mode of architecture developed. Assigned readings will be taken from a text and from a variety of sources. Students will also be expected to write a paper of about ten pages or carry out an equivalent creative project.
