| Course Objectives: | The aim of this course is to equip students with the theoretical background of urban culture in the framework of waterfront areas. Essentially, the interaction between culture and built environment, and the demonstration of urban culture through ‘the architecture of the city’ are the main issues to be studied within this course. As a special organ of civilization, the city seems to have flourished on water edges and had influenced the cultural components of urban areas. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the idea of the waterfront development through industrial water edge cities had an immense impact on the transformation of these areas. Therefore, urban waterfronts are the focal areas within this course due to their specific position through ages in consideration with their cultural impact on the city. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; - 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 gather, assess, record, apply, and comparatively evaluate relevant information within architectural coursework and design processes. |
| The course has two parts. The theoretical issues such as the cultural and spatial background of pre-industrial, industrial and post-industrial waterfronts, and several readings focusing on these issues are studied in the first half of the semester. In the second half of the course, every week the studies about several waterfront cities are presented by students. Following the presentations, a conclusive study is done in relation with the Istanbul waterfronts. |
