Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
At the end of the course, you will be able to:

1. Will be aware of urban design literature, main components of urban design
2. Will be able to identify and discuss the important theoretical approaches about urban space and function in the city.
3. Will work on a series of research projects (as short essay or poster, presentation) in order to develop basic analytical, critical and research skills in urban design.
Will be able to analyze the current urban design projects with their morphological, social, functional and temporal dimensions.

Course Content

Designing the urban spaces has been one of the most important parts of architectural design and urban planning for the last century. It is therefore crucial for student to discuss the urban design literature, current discussions in the field. This course introduces both interrelationship of people and the urban space, the main components and concepts of urban design.
The course will deal with two questions: what are theoretical approaches that will shape the form of urban spaces? and how can we evaluate the design of urban spaces in reference to the current approaches in urban design? In this context, urban design definitions and roles, theoretical urban design approaches, and related dimensions on urban life will be the focus of this course. Throughout the course, physical, social, functional and temporal aspects of urban space will be evaluated. The first part of the course focuses on discussing the several aspects of urban design and illustrates the multi-dimensional characteristics of the field. The second part focuses on the discussions and presentations together with students about the current urban design projects by using visual materials, interviews and videos on the project examples from Turkey and the world. Teaching methods and techniques used in the course are: Lecture, individual study, field trip, group work, discussion.
