ARH 7616 - History of American Building Technology

This course examines the history of American building technology. Over the past three centuries, a wide range of materials and techniques have been used to erect the structures in which we live, work, and play. Local buildings will serve as case studies for investigating this technology - from commonplace building materials such as wood, masonry, steel, and concrete to less familiar materials such as structural tile and iron vaulting. Graduate course will have additional course work.
