<p>This is a cross curriculum course of introduction to architecture and urban geography. At its center there are environmental issues, construction solutions and historical processes in aesthetic and cultural terms.<br /> It is a practical course that offers a general introduction led by a general power-point<br /> presentation with texts, pictures, drawings, audio-slide shows as well as listening<br /> and writing activities. The materials are mainly student and class centered<br /> presentations that place understanding and discussion at their center.
