Course Objective

The objective of this course is to establish the simple spatial relationships that base on the organization of semi-open-open spaces and the duality of private-public spaces through a low-rise single building together with its environmental design.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1	Express the environmental analysis and the organization of space as the components of the architectural design process.
2	Relate the design process of architectural space with the knowledge on functions and space organization through architectural programming, function and circulation diagrams.
3	Evaluate the relationships between the data of the natural / built environment, related with the given design problem and architectural program through the basic architectural concepts, such as form, function, structure, construction, context, materials, public-private space and landscape.
4	Produce architectural solutions by focusing the defined priorities of design on an architectural concept.
5	Express the original design ideas and architectural solutions, produced at the end of research, analysis, synthesis and repetition processes, integrating through different techniques and scales of architectural expressions.
