Course summary
Architectural History and Heritage involves the study of buildings and places.We are interested in the built environment as a work of design. More importantly, however, we ask what the built environment can tell us about wider social, cultural and political themes in history. We also consider issues in contemporary architectural heritage.What do buildings and designs reveal about the past How do we put them in context To answer these questions, we use a range of sources:the evidence of standing buildingsarchitectural plans and drawingswritten sourcesfilmsphotographsWe offer an unrivalled variety of study in the historic built environment.Your teaching will include the extraordinarily rich urban context of Edinburgh itself, as well as the architectural heritage of Europe and beyond.Edinburgh has a unique concentration of professional architectural historians, all of whom complete research and publish regularly in addition to their roles as teachers.Our staff specialise in a wide range of topics, spanning periods between:ancient and medievalearly and late modernthe twentieth century
