Wood Lockhart, PhD

Understanding The World’s Great Architecture

This course will examine great works of world architecture from ancient times to the modern period. Examined chronologically from an architectural history perspective, the course will focus primarily on the architecture of the Western world although reference will also be made to concurrent architectural developments in non-western cultures. Emphasis will be placed on understanding great architecture as reflective of the ideas and values of the culture in which it has been produced.


Wood Lockhart

Wood Lockhart, PhD, studied architecture at Yale University and received his doctorate in the History of Art and Architecture from Northwestern University. He is the former Chair of the Art History Department at Dominican University and has been teaching at the university since 1975. Wood is also a retired United Airlines Captain and, over a thirty six year flying career, has visited and photographed virtually all of the architecture which will be discussed in the course.
