A- History of Architecture

I am reverting to the original name of the course, as it was when I first started it. The reason being that we are going to be looking at a thousand years of buildings in the British Isles, from Anglo-Saxon times to the present day, in a more formal historical, chronological format. This will incorporate all forms and types of buildings. I know that we will have already looked at many of these in previous years, but I intend to build up a comprehensive picture of the development of the art and science of construction over this time-period. Obviously, it will not be possible to cover all this in a single year, and I envisage it spreading over a number of years, taking as long as needs be, assuming people are still interested. I also intend to add references and bibliography to the notes that are handed out, so that they can build up into a complete reference, should anybody want to save them.
