| Students will gain an understanding of building culture as an anthropological phenomenon, focusing on the relationship between humans and their living environment in different cultures and historical periods. They will learn to analyze the cultural, environmental, and social factors influencing the construction of dwellings, including adaptations to extreme conditions and comparisons with the natural environments of other species. They will master the basic principles of ecological anthropology in urban planning and construction, including the protection of cultural heritage and introductions to non-traditional forms of habitation. |
