Course Objectives: | This is an introductory course on design, architecture, and built environment, where the main objectives are to evoke consciousness and interest on the architectural culture, design principles, spatial relations and spatial organizations. Discussions and brainstorming on the understanding of architecture and design will be held through various topics such terms of design, spatial relationship, spatial organization types, materiality and structure. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Consider the historical and cultural context in architecture and design, 2. Evaluate the architectural products, 3. Explain and discuss architectural forms and design elements, 4. Differentiate and debate on principles of architecture, 5. Explain and evaluate the spatial characteristics of the built environment. |
