Overall Educational Objective | To examine the viability and status of an ethical stance within architecture | |||||
Course Description | Architecture has to re-invent itself in response to new developments in environmental, social and economic realities. These responses redefine the limits of ethical boundaries of the discipline of architecture as conventions at different periods. Both nature and the built environment exist as crucial factors that require consideration in design process. The relationships between a design ideology and the engineered solutions require exploration. Tracing the history of the profession’s response to the ecological imperative can be revealed both in discourse and projects. As well as international contexts, the methods and technologies relevant to sustainable design practice in Turkey will be surveyed. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) 1. discuss the concept of ethics in contemporary contexts through the consequences of modern philosophy and critical thinking; 2) 2. analyze the viability and status of an ethical stance within architecture; 3) 3. criticize architecture’s re-invention of itself in response to new developments in environmental, social and economic realities; 4) 4. evaluate the redefinition of the limits of ethical boundaries of architecture as conventions at different periods; 5) 5. trace architecture’s response to ecological imperative both in discourse and projects; 6) 6. critique the design mechanisms about ethics in architecture. |
