ONLINE: Journey through time as we examine eight extraordinary works of architecture — from the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Parthenon to the Eiffel Tower, the Sagrada Família and the Sydney Opera House — that have shaped human history and our imagination. This course delves into who created these masterpieces, the innovations that made them possible and the enduring influence they continue to have on our world. We’ll uncover the stories behind their creation — whether it was driven by kings, spiritual visionaries, political figures, entrepreneurs or bold designers. Some of these structures inspired awe and myth, giving rise to conspiracies about how they were built; others represent the pinnacle of modern technology and digital design. Together, we’ll explore how architecture, across millennia, reflects the aspirations, beliefs and ingenuity of humankind. | Lecture + Q&A.
