Architectural Works: Histories of Architecture and Urbanism (7A1B20)
Introduction

This document serves as a curated compilation of significant architectural works spanning
ancient to early modern periods, designed to complement the course 7A1B20: Histories of
Architecture and Urbanism. Each entry is cross-referenced with specific pages from another
document: Lecture Notes: Histories of Architecture and Urbanism (7A1B20)
(https://www.stuvia.com/nl-nl/doc/7117787/lecture-notes-histories-of-architecture-and-
urbanism-7a1b20), allowing readers to contextualize the projects within the broader themes,
theories, and historical narratives discussed in the course.

The list preserves detailed descriptions of buildings while integrating critical insights from the
lectures. Entries include:

1. Main Ideas: Key architectural features and historical context.

2. Concepts: Symbolism, cultural significance, and thematic connections.

3. Page References: Direct links to relevant sections of the lecture notes for deeper
analysis (https://www.stuvia.com/nl-nl/doc/7117787/lecture-notes-histories-of-
architecture-and-urbanism-7a1b20).

The document is intended as a study aid for students to bridge case studies with theoretical
frameworks explored in the course.

Disclaimer: Lecture 1 is excluded from cross-referencing, as it was not part of the 2024/2025
academic year exam syllabus.
