Course Objectives: |
After dicussing the basic relationship between history and architecture, course aims to identify the formal, functional, spatial, technological and symbolic diversity of architecture, that is mainly a historical, social and cultural realm of production, starting from early ages till the 13th century.
Evaluate architectural products within a wide range of singular building to urban environment, in regard to their distinct and similar characteristics with a comparative perspective, which are produced in different cultural and historical contexts.
|
The students who have succeeded in this course;
Understanding of parallel and divergent canons and traditions of architecture, landscape and urban design including examples of indigenous, vernacular, local, regional, national settings from the Eastern, Western, Northern, and Southern hemispheres in terms of their climatic, ecological, technological, socioeconomic, public health, and cultural factors.
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.
