| Goals | Kent dokusunun sürdürülebilirliğinin önemli bir ölçütü yapılı çevrenin sadece mimari (tipolojik) veya sadece kentsel (morfolojik) ölçekte deneyimlenmesi değil, bu iki ölçek arasında kurulan bir köprü aracılığıyla da okunabilmesidir. Bu bağlamda bu dersin amacı yapılı çevrenin tipo-morfolojik yöntemle okunabilmesi için gerekli kuram teori ve ilkelerin alt yapısını oluşturarak öğrencilerin kente oda kadar küçük mimari ölçekten başlayarak bina, parsel, blok oluşumları üzerinden kentin bütününü daha geniş bir perspektiften anlamalarını sağlamaktır. |
| Course Content | Urban morphology and the notion of type in Architecture, Urban Morphology Approaches, British, French and İtalian Schools of Thoughts etc. |
| Learning Outcomes |
- To be able to re-examine the typological, morphological and typomorphological relations from a new perspective: through the historical development of the concept of type in Architecture, - Understanding the interactions between architecture and urban planning disciplines through their spatial analysis methods - Gaining the ability to systematically analyse the transformational design process of the built environment - Identify and critically assess problems arising from geographical and cultural differences in the application of spatial analysis methods - To be able to contribute to the solution of those problems identified according to the context - Determination of spatial scales where space analysis methods are competent - To be able to test the possibility of applying these methods at different scales - To be able to transfer the analyses and evaluations of the students who understand the historical theories and concepts to the current design process and practice |
