Course Description

In this lecture and practice based course, which is the continuation of Urban Design and Landscape Architecture I, students are expected to have knowledge about city and public spaces, and to develop projects by combining this knowledge with the basic principles of urban design and landscape architecture. The first semester of the course where basic principles of city planning and urban design are taught, is followed by the theories and basic principles of urban design and landscape architecture in the second semester. In the practice based part of the course, firstly the characteristics of the design area and its close vicinity within the urban context are examined. Secondly, the elements that define the design area and its close vicinity, open-closed space relations, functional distributions as well as physical, natural and socio-cultural structure of the area are analyzed in detail. At the end of the course, students are expected to develop urban design decisions for the project area in 1/1000-1/500 scale and prepare a landscape design project in accordance with the requirements of 1/200 scale.
