Course Content
The course aims to help students reach the following levels of knowledge and awareness. Sample project topics: Bazaar, coastal landscaping, shopping mall, cultural buildings, health buildings, transportation structures, management buildings. Scope: Approx 7000-15000 m2, Hand drawing and Computer design.
Objectives of the Course
To present a study in an independent, unguided but supervised process, which shows that the student has the necessary level of knowledge and interpretation and has reached the desired professional level, in all disciplines that constitute the whole of education and training in the architecture department, · Evaluation of the near and far environment and other (psychological, social, technological, aesthetic, etc.) conditions together with the project subject within the whole of the city, the establishment of the phenomenon of understanding human-environment interaction, · Making planning and design decisions and producing architectural solutions in the context of developing functional, structural and aesthetic solutions · The student's ability to develop architectural project stages without the supervision of an executive, In the independently developed study, - critical thinking - Architectural program preparation and evaluation - Making use of examples - Idea development and design at the scale of urban and architectural design - Settlement and building design suitable for land conditions - Formal composition - Gaining knowledge about the structure, environment, safety, building envelope and building service systems in design and being able to include them in the design - Demonstrate the ability to formally express every stage of the programming and design process with various techniques, including computer technologies.
