Course Objective

This course aims to give information about the functional dimension of the architectural design and it also aims to add the students the notion of establishing relations among personal requirements, physical environment and architectural design.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to explain the phases of architectural design
2   To be able to do the study of the elements of a small scale space
3   To be able to analise the buildings and their spaces according to their activities
4   To be able to estimate the primary orientations of the spaces regarding their functions
5   To be able to explain the relationships between the thermal environmental factors (sun, topography, landscape) and decisions of architectural design.
6   To be able to explain the factors that should be taken into consideration for aural requirements
7   To be able to present the concepts of the lecture by investigating different building typologies

Course Contents

Week Subject Description
1 General explanations, introducing the course and its modus operandi. The relations among function, material, form and dimension.
2 The process and phases of architectural design; analise, synthesis and evaluation. The relations among social, cultural, physical environments and architectural design, site analysis and its graphical representations, the technics of information gathering, classification, processing and evaluating, introduction to design.
3 Human requirements in architectural design (physical and psycho-social requirements) human scale in architectural design, antropometric dimensions, area and volume requirements in architectural design, the study for the elements of design. The explanation of the technics for spatial analysis.
4 Visual requirements; Natural and artificial lighting, visual comfort, sun light quantity, the relations among the architectural components such as, openings/windows, topography, landscape, form, materials and lighting design. The considearations for efficient lighting. Sun control, ecological considerations for designing with sun, passive heating and related samples
5 Aural requirements; Acoustic control, the concepts and definitions such as spatial acoustics, sound, the behavior of sound in space, reverberation time and echo. The considerations in design for satisfactory acoustical conditions. Satisfactory plan and section properties and related samples.
6 The relations among noise control, architectural design and urban design. Security requirements, fire security, psycho-social requirements, privacy, territoriality and aesthetical requirements.
