SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives: This course aims to furnish the students with awareness and a real understanding of the relationship of architectural design to larger contexts of urban design and city planning. The goal is to develop their competency of thinking in terms of a larger design structure.
Course Content: Definition and evaluation of the city, its development and components including activities, functions, movement channels and corresponding physical forms; historical background of city planning and urban design, land-use plan, transportation plan, planning in different scales, visual analysis of the city, administrative aspects.

This course employs the project-based learning approach. In this respect aside from the conventional content the course has a project-based learning component. The project based-learning component aims realising one or more projects designed for learning purposes involving the development of certain intermediary and final deliverables in a step-by-step mannerby the students individually or in project teams. The evaluation of the project-based learning component involves grading the project deliverables and the project works by the instructor and/or a jury.
