Students will navigate the differences and similarities between particular urban artifacts (such as buildings and monuments) and the city as a complex whole: as the stage of the human drama (at least the urban portions of the drama). Accepting that the city itself can be understood as an artifact, one can see these artifacts as the effects of (and catalysts for) various principles or forces which, over time, can exert influence upon a city. Most generally, these forces are either generative, destructive or neutral. Specifically, they may be of varied nature: they may be military, technological, philosophical, theological, historical, geographical, social, medical, climactic, economic, artistic, or even perhaps, the product of pure chance.
