Course description and aims

Designing architecture and our environment attempts to create values through coordinating and making relationships between various behaviors of things which already exist there or which emerge through building. Behaviors are observed as the natural elements such as light, wind, heat, water, as the human behavior based on habitat and culture, as the typological building behavior. Through establishing the relationship between these behaviors, this class aims to reframe architectural design within trans-disciplinary framework, from natural science, history and ethnography.
