The first part of the course focuses on British architecture, particularly the significant historical buildings of the last ten centuries. Equally, it deals with the influence of architecture on British social history and its irreplaceable role in shaping and reflecting the society and its national and regional identity. Each of the six thematic units is introduced with a documentary presenting the most relevant buildings of the given historical period. Having completed this course, the students should have gained an insight into the topic and broadened their understanding of British social structure and similiarities or differences between their own and the insular culture and society.
