This presentation will explore the origins of architecture and the built environment, beginning with the earliest- known permanent structures constructed by humans and concluding with the monumental structures of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Mesoamerica. We will trace the emergence of settled agriculture and the beginnings of urbanism and city living, focusing on how these early developments can be understood through the material remains they have left for archaeologists to uncover. Bret Langendorger is a lecturer in the Department of Art and Archaeology at Princeton University. He specializes in the art and architecture of the ancient Middle East.

This event occurs in person. RSVP does not guarantee entry. Our coat check is limited. Please do not bring any large bags or backpacks.
