experienced a great transformation of urban physiognomy – especially the redrawing and the implementation of the

urban plan under the reign of Napoleon III with Baron Haussmann, meanwhile, Paris has witnessed the transition of

individual and collective consciousness of artists in divers aspects such as modern literature, painting, architecture and

art criticism. In this course, we invite the students to complete the reconstruction of the city of Paris in the 19th century in

a frame of a different culture with a chronological and geographic lag. We analyze our subject as a cultural model, from

multiple perspectives such as social development, evolution of literary and artistic styles, changes in urban planning and

architecture design, by means of thematic citation of divers references and rich materials accumulated at the specific

intersection of space (Paris) and time (the 19th century). This course aims to cultivate the students’ cultural sensitivity

and historical conscience, and hopes that students can have a basic architectural and cultural understanding of urban

space.
