Description
This course introduces students to a critical history of Gothic Revival architecture in Winnipeg (c. 1830 to 1930). We explore - through the writings of its initiators - the origins of the Gothic Revival movement in Europe and North America, and examine how it reached Winnipeg in the 19th century. Students are introduced to the notion of style, forms and function in architecture, learn to work with archival material (primary and secondary sources) related to historical architecture, to document and comprehend a building and its ornamental components (painting, sculpture, and stained glass), and to write about heritage art and architecture.
Restrictions
