Course description and aims

Environmental design should integrate physical part with cultural and social part for solving contemporary social problems. In this course, we consider practical developments of environmental designs based on environment-behavior studies, through discussing with professional researchers.
This course is related to "Practice of Environmental Design based on Environment-Behavior Study 1." Students will develop their research topic for solving social problem through group-work for design survey and environmental design.

Student learning outcomes

Through this course, students will understand modern methods of environmental design, and will be able to design built environments by using enbrionment-behavior studies. In detail, by the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Clarify specific knowledges for designing well built environments.
2) Cooperate for evidence based environmental design practically.
3) Consider design processes and its value for well designed built environment.
