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.

Student learning outcomes

Through this course, studentswill 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 basic knowledges for designing well built environments.
2) Do evidence based environmental design.
3) Consider design processes and its value for well designed built environment
