SUMMARY• A Course structured in modules,
each looking at the art, architecture, & idea of a unique place and time.
• Together, the five modules form a structure that represents the shape and association of world images and shapes.
• Setting each module on one defining idea and one dominant figure gives good focus and energy: making the satellite of ideas in each place & period comprehensible to the students.
