This is the first part of a two-part course. Part II is available here.
Greenwich Village, as one of the most beloved and picturesque neighborhoods in New York City, presents unique lessons in its centuries-old architecture and urbanism: from its picturesque streets and squares, to its buildings, churches and townhomes. In this virtual course, we will discover how certain timeless urban principles make a neighborhood, and by extension, the city, more livable, walkable, and loved by a community. Participants will virtually walk through Greenwich Village and study its architectural and urban development, discuss principles of traditional urbanism applied to a modern-day city, and analyze how architecture (traditional and modernist) can affect public space.
