Course Content
Aydınlatmanın temel kavramları ve ilkeleri tanıtılmakta, mimaride aydınlatma problemlerinin çözümü için gerekli olacak bilgilere dayalı detaylar ve farklı kompozisyonlar öğretilmektedir. Mimari yapılarda doğal aydınlatmadan yararlanılması konusunda literatüre dayalı araştırmalarda bulunulmaktadır. Mimari proje tasarımında ve uygulamalarda doğal aydınlatma konusunda dikkat edilecek hususlar hesaplanarak çizilmekte ve ölçekli maket yaptırılmaktadır.
