6. Course Description
This course is a survey of the historic development of Man’s built structures and environment from the barbaric splendor of the first civilizations to the massive,
articulated architecture of the Byzantine period: including prehistoric Architecture; the preclassical civilizations of the Ancient Near East & Egypt, the Classical age
of the Greece & Rome; and the first half of Medieval Architecture - Early Christian, and Byzantine. The course will explore the architectural manifestation of
thoughts from the beginning of the civilization until the Byzantine period.

7. School’s Vision and Mission

The School of Engineering and Architecture envisions itself as an exemplary educational institution for engineering and architecture dedicated to elevating
instruction, research, and extension to a higher level of competence and creativity committed to shaping the socio-technical environment founded on Christian
values.

10. Capstone Project (If Applicable)

The project will require each student to make a compilation of their research papers and research plates from the Prehistoric to the Byzantine Periods. The student then performs a content analysis of the
compilation from which architectural elements and building types that characterize the style for each period is drawn out. The data derived from the comparative analysis will be tabulated according to PLANS,
WALLS, OPENINGS, ROOFS, COLUMNS, MOULDINGS, ORNAMENT, BUILDING EXAMPLE and a CONCLUDING STATEMENT on the overall architectural character according to the following periods learned:
PREHISTORIC, EGYPT, MIDDLE EAST, GREECE, ROMAN EMPIRE, BYZANTINE. The tabulated summary must be computer generated in word format and printed on A4 bond paper, an electronic copy of which
must be submitted to the professor.
