SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives: This course aims to advance the concepts and skills explored during the first year and help students translate them into the design of buildings, interior spaces, and sites. Students are expected to conceive the multi-dimensional nature of architectural design.
Course Content: Studies for the identification of the elements of architectural design; design of a project that fulfills formal, functional and structural requirements as well as concerning spatial arrangements and relations with the environment.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are those describing the knowledge, skills and competencies that students are expected to achieve upon successful completion of the course. In this context, Course Learning Outcomes defined for this course unit are as follows:
Knowledge (Described as Theoritical and/or Factual Knowledge.)
  1) Knows user needs, spatial / functional patterns, appropriate scale and dimensions.
  2) Knows traditional and non-traditional building technologies, architectonic elements and materials.
Skills (Describe as Cognitive and/or Practical Skills.)
  1) Constructs and evaluates architectural concept.
Competences (Described as "Ability of the learner to apply knowledge and skills autonomously with responsibility", "Learning to learn"," Communication and social" and "Field specific" competences.)
  1) Has critical creative thinking ability.
  2) Evaluates the aesthetic values ​​that are effective in architectural design process.
