COURSE DEFINITION
The aim of this course is to increase the awareness of the students in vital need for sustainable design approaches in architecture and urban design. Within this context, the mutual relation between human and the built environment will be explored with critical discussions on diversity of built environment user characteristics, needs, activities and responses in the built environment in order to understand the cause of potential problems in sustainability of the design of built environment. Sustainable building structures and importance of energy efficiency in buildings will be discussed in lectures and investigated in research assignments to improve the critical thinking on the difference of green design and sustainable design solutions. The students will make research on recent sustainable design solutions in workshops each week to observe and analyze existing sustainable architectural design solutions. Additionally, a collaborative design project will be conducted to develop sustainable design solution for a specific architectural design problem.
