Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

Introduction to urban design, teaching basic principles;
conducting a site analysis in a historical neighbourhood and
designing an open space (a square, a park, etc) according to a
concept; teaching the urbanization dynamics of American,
European and Turkish cities comparatively The student will
learn how current urban design theories and practice are now
focused on creating a lively and safe public realm of streets,
squares, parks and other public spaces. The student will
understand the concept of “frontages” and how building façades
create walls to“urban rooms.” To meet these criteria,façade
composition needs to take fully into account external contextual
responsibilities as well as internally generated programmatic and
tectonic concerns

Course Content:

History and theory of urban design, urban design practice and its applications, urban design methods and tools, contemporary urban design methodologies for sustainable developments and urban design workshop.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Will learn how current urban design theories and practice are now focused on ,site context and analyses,creating a lively and safe public realm of streets, squares, parks and other public spaces,and healthy houses within its milue.
2) Will also understand the concept of “streets” and how building and inbetween places create walls to“urban rooms.”
