The general aim of the semester course is to deepen the knowledge and sensitivity of design pinciples towards building performances. In that sense it analyses architectural lighting, acoustics and thermal comfort. Within these topics, the course will emphasize on passive(natural)-active(mechanical) techniques, basic concepts, materials, measurement of criterions, economical way of usages, comparison of projects between centuries, tremendous effects on interior and exterior spaces which must be considered at the earliest stage of designing process.





The course is based on lectures, research assignments, student presentations, demonstrations of different companies about the subjects, discussions, daily tours in the university or surrounding buildings. With eclectic method, activities done during the semester will gain an ability of realization of details, sharing the experiences, producing new ideas, upgrading the knowledges.





Individual Presentation, Research Assignment, Quizes, Midterm and Final Exam will be considered in Assessment. The evaluation will be based on the potential, originality and creative application of each work as well as the quality and execution of presentations.

Individual Presentation %10
Quizes(total) %20
Research Assignment %15
Midterm %25
Final Exam %30
