<具体的な到達目標>
Students have acquired an understanding of various paradigms from an humanities perspective, the intersections between technology and the humanities and the interrelationship between the thought processes associated with both.

<授業計画及び準備学習>
Technology is both a production of the human condition and a major factor in the development of the human condition. It is essential for students of architecture/technology to have a firm grounding in the interrelatedness of their majors and the development of humanities’ concepts in order for them to conceive of pertinent and progressive designs. To achieve this, the course in History of Humanities will examine the motivations behind developments from both needs based and intrinsic creativity based points of view. This will entail analyzing structural, technological, and scientific achievements and aesthetic principles across the paradigm shifts of human culture.

Students will have to read and write for homework. Instructors will provide written and oral feedback.
