This course is basically:

1) A history of all the famous architects, such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Alvar Aalto and Mies van Der Rohe, and all its creations.
2) First part of the course will cover specific buildings, while 2nd part will usually cover cities.
3) 2 assignments, 1 midterm and 1 final(When i took it in 2009). 1st assignment would be a description(essay) of an architect and its work. Second one would require you to produce a poster of a building.
4) The coolest midterm ever!!: U will be given half an hour to answer theories, and another half an hour would be given to u to go out, and answer questions based on a nearby building( near victoria college)
