HOA300.2 Treasures of Strasbourg: Art, Architecture and Urbanism (Fall, Spring)

First offered in Fall 2025

This course explores the art, architecture, and urbanism of Strasbourg, a UNESCO World Heritage site in the Alsace region of France. Proceeding neighborhood by neighborhood (in all weather!) and exploring cross-cutting themes, students will explore the city through walks and site visits, interviews and discussions with contemporary artists and gallery owners, and lectures. Through these visits the course uncovers the historic layers of the city – Holy Roman, French, German, and Alsatian – and presents an intimate, in-depth window into the unique city that is students’ home while abroad.
