This history of architecture and spatial design module will develop your knowledge of contemporary British and International design within historical, political, economic, social and technological contexts. We will cover themes from the post war period to the present and examine issues of patronage, the divergence of client and user, debates about style, the media and the current role of the profession. The built environment affects everyone within it and we will debate the rapid changes from the architecture of the welfare state to the rise and fall of commercial development and regeneration.
