This unit comprises a series of lectures sketching the historical background of architecture and, to a lesser extent, the planning of towns in Western Australia from 1829 to the present. Running parallel to the lectures is a series of tutorials and site visits concentrating on the processes of the architectural production which have taken place since 1829. There is some choice in the selection of topics within this range. Examples are the assimilation of principally English ideas and architectural models during the early years of settlement (1829 to 1860s), the dramatic change of architectural expression during the 1890s, and the application of radical ideas from 1950 to the 1960s. -- Course Website
