Course Objectives: | The objective is to develop an understanding of architectural culture; principles of architectural design, construction, materials and context. The emphasis is on space, form, technology and materials characterized by particular ways of thinking, embedded in human culture. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; Students who have succeeded in this course; -Ability to read, write, speak and listen effectively -Understanding of the diverse needs, values, behavioural norms, physical abilities, and social and spatial patterns that characterize different cultures and individuals and the implication of this diversity on the societal roles and responsibilities of architects. -Understanding of the architect’s responsibility to work in the public interest, to respect historic resources, and to improve the quality of life for local and global neighbours. -Understanding of the relationship between human behaviour, the natural environment and the design of the built environment. |
This course discusses architecture and architectural culture in the context of principles of architecture. |
