http://ocw.nd.edu Notre Dame OpenCourseware (OCW) offers free online educational resources for the course "Nature and the Built Environment" in the School of Architecture. This course explores the evolutionary roots of form and order in the built environment. While grounded in scientific evidence, a broad perspective of humanism is emphasized throughout, with discussions of how ideas, beliefs, experience, ideals, and human nature animate individuals and societies and thereby give form to the things they make. Readings begin with the idea of nature and how it is manifest in ancient cities, architecture, and other artifacts. This is then contrasted with today’s built environment and our world of increasing economic and cultural globalization, the advent of mega-cities, and an impending worldwide scarcity of critical natural resources. 2011-11-14T04:32:42-07:00 en Copyright 2012, by the Contributing Authors daily 1 2011-10-24T05:04:26Z ARCH 50611 Spring 2007 Undergraduate http://ocw.nd.edu/architecture/nature-and-the-built-environment/nature-and-the-built-environment.zip admin Copyright 2012, by the Contributing Authors en 2011-10-24T05:45:15Z File application/zip ARCH 50611 Spring 2007 Undergraduate http://ocw.nd.edu/architecture/nature-and-the-built-environment/readings administrator Norman Crowe Paul Monson Copyright 2012, by the Contributing Authors en Nature and the Built Environment Built Environment Readings Nature 2011-10-24T05:45:10Z Page text/html ARCH 50611 Spring 2007 Undergraduate http://ocw.nd.edu/architecture/nature-and-the-built-environment/Prof_Crowe.bmp administrator Norman Crowe Paul Monson Copyright 2012, by the Contributing Authors en Nature and the Built Environment Built Environment Nature 2011-10-24T05:45:10Z Image image/gif ARCH 50611 Spring 2007 Undergraduate http://ocw.nd.edu/architecture/nature-and-the-built-environment/calendar administrator Norman Crowe Paul Monson Copyright 2012, by the Contributing Authors en Nature and the Built Environment Built Environment Calendar Nature 2011-11-02T18:04:23Z Page text/html ARCH 50611 Spring 2007 Undergraduate http://ocw.nd.edu/architecture/nature-and-the-built-environment/lectures administrator Norman Crowe Paul Monson Copyright 2012, by the Contributing Authors en Nature and the Built Environment Built Environment Nature 2011-11-14T17:07:27Z Page text/html ARCH 50611 Spring 2007 Undergraduate http://ocw.nd.edu/architecture/nature-and-the-built-environment/VitruvianCalendarWeb.jpg vitruvian calendar pmonson Copyright 2012, by the Contributing Authors en 2011-10-24T05:44:53Z Image image/jpeg ARCH 50611 Spring 2007 Undergraduate http://ocw.nd.edu/architecture/nature-and-the-built-environment/syllabus Norman Crowe Norman Crowe Paul Monson Copyright 2012, by the Contributing Authors en Nature and the Built Environment Syllabus Built Environment Nature 2011-11-14T19:50:21Z Page text/html ARCH 50611 Spring 2007 Undergraduate http://ocw.nd.edu/architecture/nature-and-the-built-environment/about-the-professor About Prof. Crowe Norman Crowe Norman Crowe Paul Monson Copyright 2012, by the Contributing Authors en Norman Crowe 2011-10-24T05:44:46Z Page text/html ARCH 50611 Spring 2007 Undergraduate
