COURSE DESCRIPTION 

课程简介

This course provides advanced lectures on the history of Chinese architecture from ancient times to the first half of the 20th century. Through three thematic sections—vernacular architecture, high-style architecture, and architectural transformation in the 20th century—the course intends to present the historical diversity and narrative multiplicity of Chinese architecture. It encourages students to reconsider the characteristics of Chinese architecture in the multiple scopes of single buildings, human settlements and cultural landscapes, thinking about how the historic built environment has interacted with the human body, technology, and society. It also invites students to explore various methods for interpreting historical materials such as physical objects, literature, and images.

The final project of the course requires students to articulate their independent viewpoint on the selected topic based on primary sources and to represent it through digital measurements.

本课程为中国建筑史专题英语讲座系列，通过民间风土建筑、官式古典建筑和中国建筑的现代转型三个板块，呈现中国建筑历史的多元性和历史叙事的多重性。课程将在建筑、聚落、景观等多尺度对象中呈现中国建筑的基本特征，讨论历史上的建成环境如何与文化、技术和社会环境进行互动，并了解实物、文献、图像等不同历史素材的释读方法。课程作业要求学生基于一手材料形成关于历史事实的独立见解，并通过数字技术进行展示和互动。
