Course Description

The aim of this course is to enhance students' awareness on vital need for sustainable design approaches in architecture and urban design. In this context, the characteristics, needs, activities, and diverse responses of built environment users will be discussed to examine the reciprocal relationships between humans, nature, and the built environment, and potential problems hindering the sustainability of both the natural and built environments will be identified. Sustainable building structures and importance of energy efficiency in buildings will be discussed in lectures and investigated in research assignments to improve the critical thinking on the difference of green design and sustainable design solutions. The students will make research on recent sustainable design solutions in workshops each week to observe and analyze existing sustainable architectural design solutions. Additionally, a collaborative design project will be conducted to develop sustainable design solution for a specific architectural design problem.
