Architectural history is the discipline that records, studies and interprets architecture. It studies its forms, purposes, and most importantly its evolution. Thus, Architectural Culture and History 1 addresses the cultural and historical context of architecture and the built environment. It focuses on the historical, social, political and critical contexts of how and why we design buildings and spaces. It also emphases on historical and theoretical topics, taking a fresh look at architectural, archaeological and historical material. Studying architectural history enables us to understand the society and culture they represent which is very useful when working as a contemporary architect.
