| Course Objectives: | The main objective of this course is to define contemporary urban design theory in an interdisciplinary framework that includes architecture, planning, and landscape design |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; - Understanding of the diverse needs, values, behavioral norms, physical abilities, and social and spatial patterns that characterize different cultures and individuals. At the same time understanding the roles and responsibilities of urban designers and architects in it. - Understanding of the relationship between human behaviour, the natural environment, and the design of the built environment. - Ability to examine and comprehend the fundamental principles present in relevant precedents and to make choices regarding the incorporation of such principles into architecture and urban design projects. |
Urban Design Theory provides students with an introduction to theories, concepts, methods, and contemporary issues in urban design. Contemporary urban design is the process of collaboration between the architecture, planning, and landscape architecture professions. This collaboration is discussed by the important approaches and the selected examples. |
