Course Objectives To have students acquire design skills by considering environmental factors and the relationship between urban fabric and architecture in three-dimensional space; to develop a design concept and order strategies in relation to the integration of structure-space-function through given assignments
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • - Comprehends the function-form relationship - Can make environmental analysis - Learns the basic concepts related to architectural project - Learns to make design program and to define project goals - Can explain the strategies of his/her design; can discuss the end results
Course Content Structural principle-form relation; function-space relation at human and architectural scales; translating the data obtained through analysis into design data and knowledge; structure-space-function integration in simple architectural design exercises; shaping topography as a component of design at urban and architectural scales. Pre-requisite:
