Course Objectives:	The objective of this course is introducing students to a complex building function in an urban context, where problems with urban regeneration and new designs are explored. Relationship between an individual building and the city, exploration of private and public realm are the topics to tackle with. Applying new ideas rooted in ecology and sustainability are enriching the discipline of architecture and active forms are reshaping cities in general and shared spaces in relevant locales.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
The students who have succeeded in this course will have;
- Ability to prepare a comprehensive program for an architectural project, such as preparing an assessment of client and user needs, an inventory of space and equipment requirements, an analysis of site conditions (including existing buildings), a review of the relevant laws and standards and assessment of their implications for the project, and a definition of site selection and design assessment criteria.
- 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.
- Ability to raise clear and precise questions, use abstract ideas to interpret information, consider diverse points of view, reach well-reasoned conclusions, and test alternative outcomes against relevant criteria and standards.
- Ability to design projects that optimize, conserve, or reuse natural and built resources, provide healthful environments for occupants/users, and reduce the environmental impacts of building construction and operations on future generations through means such as carbon-neutral design, bioclimatic design, and energy efficiency.
- 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 basic principles of structural behaviour in withstanding gravity and lateral forces and the evolution, range, and appropriate application of contemporary structural systems
- Understanding of the basic principles of environmental, social and economic sustainability, and their appropriate application into the architectural design.

Course Content

The 3001 studio addresses the complexity of the discipline through its various issues, such as site conditions, accessibility, environmental- social- and economic sustainability, structural integrity, construction technologies, the use of materials, legal codes & standards, and architectural representation, integrating these issues in the design process. The studio examines a complex architectural problem in an area within undefined or problematic spaces in the historic center of the city.
Students are asked to design open spaces and buildings that constitute facilities for research focused on a certain subject. The design consists of open spaces and buildings, dealing with problems related to the continuity of urban spaces and the relation of new design to the development of the city.
