Course Objective

Since historical buildings and environments are assets, which bring the past to the present and which reflect it on the future, they constitute a vital source in the transfer of information. Information about the life, architecture, construction tradition, materials and etc. of their periods is acquired by reading like a book. The aim of the course is to enable students to acquire skills of perceiving historical spaces, making inferences from these spaces, thinking over them, evaluating, discussing and interpreting them.
