Course Description:	A course which is a means to expose and discuss various concerns and aspects of architecture for all those who are interested in learning 1)to make architecture; 2) to experience architecture; and 3) to reflect on (think about) architectural experiences. These three different but interdependent acts of learning help to develop and enrich one another.
Course Objectives:	This course introduces fundamental theoretical issues and ideas in architecture. The topics include ancient Greek and Roman theories, Renaissance theories, and contemporary theories that interpret tradition and critically reflect on reality. Paralleling with architectural theories, ancient Greek and modern philosophical theories on art are introduced to present the broad theoretical context of architectural concepts. Contemporary hermeneutic theorization on Eastern gardens is experimentally compared with the Western theoretical discourse in order for the student to obtain knowledge of cross-cultural architectural theories.
