Pieter Broucke

Professor Broucke is the best! I took this course as a way to learn more about Architecture and proceeded to take more classes in the field! It was super interesting, the exams were memory based however there were not many throughout the semester. I found the content to be interesting and the lectures to be good too! Broucke is super engaging and funny but he will cold call!

Prof. Broucke is very passionate about the course material. The class is lecture based with readings every night for homework. Because the class spans such a long time period, we were frequently rushed, but the exams were based on the topics we most heavily covered in class, so they weren't bad at all.

Professor Broucke is a fantastic instructor! He’s incredibly kind, passionate about the subject, and genuinely cares about his students. He’s also very approachable and helpful during office hours. There are readings assigned before each class, and you’re required to write a one-page response for each one—but I found this really useful for understanding the material, and it wasn’t too challenging. The exams can be tough due to their tricky format, but they’re definitely manageable with preparation. If you’re looking for a broad introduction to pre-modern architecture, I’d definitely recommend this course!
