4.605

4.605 A Global History of Architecture is the Course 4 Architecture (Architecture) a class I took with Mark Jarzombek at MIT as a Senior spring semester.

Class Review

I liked learning about the architecture of the world. However, I found the grading was more weighted towards memorizing histories. Was more about culture than buildings. Perhaps it could have been more about themes or analysis. Also I thought it was going to be more on the modern era when I signed up.

Grade:A

I think I pulled it together for the final.

Notes Quality

Very visual class. Was being filmed for EdX

Textbook
