Course Objectives | The aim of this course is to provide students with an upgrade of basic knowledge in the field of urban design. In this sense, concepts such as the basics of urban morphology, planning and basic urban elements such as streets, squares and blocks will not be studied. Instead of that, through theoretical teaching and practical work on urban concepts, students' practical skills will be devoloped related to the urban design. The emphasis will be on practical exercises and the development of works related to urban design, and theoretical lectures will serve as a platform for achieving that goal. In addition, the aim of the course for students is to adopt the practical principles of smart urbanism in the field of City Planning and Urban Design. In this capacity, various case study examples from different parts of the world, realized in the 20th century, will be presented. As a result, students will better understand the complex relations in the field of contemporary urbanism, using this knowledge and skills for the development of future urban design projects. |
