| Course Objectives: | The objective of the course is to develop students’ understanding of the contemporary world architecture within its social, cultural and historical context. Movements, styles, and signposts in the course of architectural history, leading designers and their work are explored with an approach that places architectural examples on theoretical, chronological, cultural and socio-political grounds. The role of architecture in representation of culture and its contributions to societal problems, significance of conscious preservation of architecture and the built environment, are to be associatively discussed. |
Learning Outcomes
|
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. |
Course Content
| Examples of architecture and design work produced during the 20th century & 21st century –beginning with the late 19th century up to today- including examples of late-Ottoman early Republican architecture in Turkey, are covered throughout lectures and relevant documentaries. Through a flow of thematic ideas, periods, locations, styles, movements and signposts where changes occur in the course of architectural history, leading architects, designers and their products are introduced through verbal and illustrative material. Each building and each period is placed in its cultural and socio-political context. The role of architecture in representation of culture and identity and its contributions to humanity and social problems are to be associatively discussed. |
