Course description and aims
Architectural design has an interest which involves the ingenious use of form and materials to control environmental elements such as light, heat, wind, and water, and to create comfortable spaces and places in harmony with the lifestyles and climate of the people who live there. The ingenuity to take advantage of nature's potential that has been cultivated in vernacular architecture around the world is a prototype, and now, combined with scientific approaches such as environmental engineering, it has become one of the important methodologies in architecture for a sustainable society, such as passive design and life-cycle carbon minus (LCCM).
This course aims to enhance students' literacy to read the environment and utilize it in architectural design by learning about the background, theories, design methods, and examples of architectural design that responds to the environment.
Student learning outcomes
To understand the background, theory, design methods, and examples of architectural design that respond to the environment, and to enhance literacy in reading the environment and using it in architectural design.
Keywords
Architecture Responding to the Environment, Sustainable Design, Passive Solar Design, Life Cycle Carbon Minus
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | ✔ Intercultural skills | Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Through the lectures, the background, theory, design methods, and examples of architecture that responds to the environment will be outlined, and through the exercises, the relationship between climate, building form, and thermal environment will be examined in more detail.
