Buildings That Define American Cities: San Francisco & NYC (Two Parts)

Every city has a particular feel about it, defined by its architecture, demographics, geography, climate, and the people and cultures that have shaped the city from its founding to its current status. From historical to contemporary structures, these lectures will explore the iconic structures that identify various American cities and how they came to be. A variety of architectural styles will be discussed, as well as the sociopolitical context in which these buildings were created.

The course dates are:

• April 22, 10 a.m.
• April 29, 10 a.m.
