Jerusalem's Architectural Heritage: A Tale of a City and Its Buildings

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Taught at a host institution. Over the course of 3,00 years Jerusalem has developed from a regional center to a national capital to the spiritual center for the world's three great monotheistic religions. This course will attempt to understand the development of the city through its architecture. With a critical eye towards how architecture affects society, the course will question how the built environment has affected the spirituality of the city and how that spirituality is reflected in and affected by the built environment.
