The course aims to discuss the evolving priorities and responsibilities of environmental issues in architectural design, from past to present and into the future. It explores the interaction between the natural and built environment, the concept of sustainability in architecture, the development, components, and design principles of sustainable architecture, and examines examples of sustainable architecture from around the world and Turkey.
1. (Knowledge) Explains sustainable design principles at urban and architectural scales through contemporary architectural design examples.
2. (Skill) Describes the relationship between user comfort and technological advancements from past to present within the context of sustainability, supported by examples.
3. (Skill) Discusses the reasons behind natural resource depletion and the increase in energy consumption, considering intellectual, discursive, scientific, political, technological, aesthetic, historical, and cultural factors.
4. (Skill) Analyzes local standards and international building assessment methods used to reduce the environmental impact of buildings and applies them in design projects.
5. (Skill) Begins to independently follow current literature to stay updated on sustainable design approaches.
6. (Competence) Evaluates the evolving priorities and responsibilities of architects in the context of human- and society-centered, environmentally conscious architectural design and planning, based on current literature.
