Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
Students will be able to
1.Recognize the importance of man made environments on human life and in architectural and urban scales,
2.Illustrate a language of landscape architecture necessary to contribute to the design of man made natural environments,
3.Interprets the differences in designed landscapes which develop as a result of the cultural attitude of man towards nature.
4.Develops landscape designs as an integral part of architectural design.
5.Develops the relationship between interior spaces and the man made natural environments.

Course Content

The course will be Hybrid. Students who are responsible for the course are expected to follow the course in the classroom during the semester. Students need good attendance to qualify to achieve mastery of the course objective and learning objectives. In this course, high attendance rates are expected. The course also requires concerted effort of the students.
Assessment of a student includes overall performance, development, creativity, problem solving, and contribution to the design, design quality and graphic expression quality. In addition to that,
• each project is to be developed with the help of sketches and models.
• several design problems, each challenging a different aspect of creativity, will be studied and evaluated.
• students are expected to listen the critiques of others and also work on their projects during the course.
