| Overall Educational Objective | To gain insight on principles of structural systems, behavior of forces, development and applications of contemporary structural systems | ||||
| Course Description | This course focuses on (principles of) structural and architectural design along with relationship of architectural practice with the civil engineering disciplines. During the course, fundamental concepts of physics/statics are being remembered and loads, behavior of materials under load are discussed. Different types of structural systems like shell structures, frame structures, tensile structures are introduced and their principles and load bearing relations are described through visual materials. These concepts are supported by weekly in-class exercises. At the end of the semester each student is responsible to prepare a presentation about one of the case building which have examined during the term. It is expected to be supported by research, scaled models, drawings, sketches and diagrams. | ||||
| Course Description in Turkish | Ders strüktürel ve mimari tasarım prensipleri ile mimarlık pratiğinin inşaat mühendisliği disiplinleriyle ilişkisine odaklanır. Dönem boyunca basit fizik/statik kuralları hatırlatılacak, yükler, yük altında malzeme davranışları ve taşıyıcı sistem seçimine etkileri tartışılacaktır. Kabuk yapılar, çerçeve strüktürler, asma germe sistemler gibi farklı sistemlere ek olarak komposit sistemler tanıtılacak ve yük davranışları görsel malzemeler üzerinden tartışılacaktır. Bu kavramlar, haftalık sınıf içi çalışmalar ile desteklenmektedir. Dönem sonunda her öğrenci, dönem boyunca bahsedilmiş bir örnek yapı hakkında bir sunum hazırlamak ile sorumludur. Sunumun araştırma, ölçekli modeller, çizimler, eskizler ve diyagramlar ile desteklenmesi beklenmektedir. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) 1.understand the importance of structural logic on architectural design, the integration of fields and able to use the terminology; 2) 2.comprehend basic principles of static and dynamic structural behavior that look at different phases of design in an integrated way; 3) 3.recognize the basic principles in the selection of materials, components and assemblies, based on their characteristics together with their performance; 4) 4.identify new technologies in design and visualize construction process of a building. |
