Course Objective and Content
| Course Objectives: | In the context of this course, it is aimed to analyse the general concept of ‘urban-rural’ settlement character and to make a comparison between urbanization process and natural environment with the criterias of ‘sustainability’ process. In relation with this aim, firstly general terms are defined and then students are equipped within the basic components of sustainable design. For the maintenance of existing urban life, it is an urgent requirement to gain the loss of natural areas and control sources. So, as an alternative way ‘sustainable landscape design’ methods are analysed during the course time regarding their strong relation with architecture. Sustainable landscape design holds a significant part of our daily life in point of to sustain more healty and livable cities for human life. |
| Course Content: | The relationship of sustainability concept with architectural and landscape design disciplines is emphasized. Sustainable design approaches carried out in the field of architecture are examined together with landscape design studies. Following the theoretical infrastructure formation, a project proposal is developed on some selected study areas for sustainable landscape design solutions. |
