Course Objectives: |
This course aims to examine the character and context of the built environment and the key works in architecture from the middle ages to the contemporary period and show how architectural works are embedded in their physical and social contexts. In this respect it includes the introduction of history of the architectural and urban environment—its form, function, and representation—addressing cultural/economic/natural factors, settlement patterns, structure, design, planning, and theories of architectural and urban forms. |
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.
