Overall Educational Objective To learn the spatial, constructional and technological aspects and design principals of HVAC, acoustics and lighting system in terms of CAD drawings, lighting calculations and documentation.
Course Description This is an introductory course that provides a basic understanding of building systems, particularly heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), lighting and acoustics. Students will examine current research and practical strategies related to HVAC, lightning and acoustical systems. The design criteria and calculations used in interior design will be introduced to the students. The course will examine the student’s interior design project through the lens of building systems integration; placing emphasis on understanding technical aspects of systems (construction types, structural, power, lighting, audio-visual, mechanical, plumbing, fire suppression), and its impact on human well-being within an interior environment (thermal comfort, interior air quality, acoustic, etc.). This lecture intends to encourage the students to understand architectural lighting in terms of technological, psychological and functional aspects in order to be able to use the knowledge in their interior design projects. Since lighting effects the way people feel and behave, by learning both scientific properties of light and lighting equipment, and the artistic designs that can be made by lighting, students will be able to enhance the architectural space perception and experience according to the needs of the users, demands of the client and/or space and the environmental factors by creating a balance between quantity and quality of light.
Course Description in Turkish Bu ders, ısıtma, soğutma ve havalandırma sistemleri, akustik ve aydınlatma tasarımı, iç mekan tasarımında kullanılan tasarım kriterleri ve hesaplamaları konularında temel bir anlayış ortaya koyan giriş dersidir. Ders kapsamında öğrencilerin, ısıtma, soğutma ve havalandırma sistemleri, aydınlatma ve akustik sistemler ile ilişkili güncel araştırma ve uygulama pratiklerini incelemeleri beklenmektedir. Ders, öğrencinin iç mekan projesini bina sistemleri entegrasyonu merceği aracılığıyla incelenecektir; sistemlerin teknik yönleri (yapı türleri, yapısal, güç, aydınlatma, görsel-işitsel, mekanik, sıhhi tesisat, yangın söndürme) ve iç ortamdaki insan refahı üzerindeki etkisi (termal konfor, iç hava kalitesi, akustik vb.) tartışılacaktır. Bu ders; öğrencilerin mimari aydınlatma tasarımını teknoloji, psikoloji ve fonksiyon açısından benimseyerek, edinecekleri bilgiyi iç mimari projelerinde kullanmalarını hedefler. Işığın insan davranışı ve duygularını etkilemesinin farkındalığına vararak ve ışığın ve aydınlatma armatürlerinin kullanımını hem bilimsel hem de tasarımsal açıdan yorumlayarak; mekan algısını ve insan deneyimini, kullanıcıların ihtiyaçlarına, mekanın ve/veya işverenin ihtiyaçlarına ve de çevresel faktörlere dayanarak, ışık niteliğini ve niceliğini tasarlama bilincine varmalarını amaçlar.
