ARHT2678: Islamic Art and Architecture
This unit offers a thematic and chronological survey of the arts, architecture, and material cultures of the Islamic world from the seventh century to the present and from China to Spain. While developing knowledge of regional and temporal variations through an object-oriented approach, we will also explore major themes and questions regarding the forms, functions and socio-political meanings of objects and the built environment. We will investigate the production of art in light of broader visual traditions, and look into its reception and cross-cultural circulation by studying the dynamic relationships that connect objects and spaces with their users, viewers, and patrons.
