Course Description
The aim of this course is helping students in designing buildings and their environments and/or forming spatial patterns considering the urban and environmental context of high rise public buildings such as offices, hospitals, dormitories, mix use buildings and etc. It also helps students in structuring the necessary orders by researching the properties of the given (virtual and/or natural) topography and the architectural context. Researching to find appropriate construction systems and materials considering the new and advanced technologies of high rise buildings, vertical circulation, accessibility, climate, building physics, urban identity and skyline problems. Understanding different design languages and enhancing design vocabularies by doing research on different applications, Developing self motivation, imagination through generation of ideas and concepts, Exploring advanced representational materials and techniques, modelling, sketching as a way of developing ideas and concepts, computer aided image production, Identification of self mental and manual skills in order to form the individual styles.

Program Outcomes
- P01 Solving the architectural problems by making use of the research methods (skill).
- P02 The ability to carry out a specialistic study related to architecture independently. (Competence to work independently and take responsibility).
- P03 Developing new strategic approaches to solve the unforeseen and complex problems arising in the practical processes of architecture and coming up with solutions while taking responsibility (Competence to work independently and take responsibility).
- P04 Fulfilling the leader role in the environments where solutions are sought for the problems of architecture (Competence to work independently and take responsibility).
- P05 Assessing the specialistic knowledge and skill gained through the study with a critical view and directing one’s own learning process (Learning Competence).
- P06 Systematically transferring the current developments of architecture and one’s own work to other groups in and out of the area; in written, oral and visual forms (Communication and Social Competency).
- P07 Ability to see and develop social relationships and the norms directing these relationships with a critical look and the ability to take action to change these when necessary (Communication and Social Competency).
- P08 Proficiency in inglish- and establishing written and oral communication with english (Communication and Social Competency).
- P09 Using the computer software together with the information and communication technologies efficiently and according to the needs of architecture (Communication and Social Competency).
- P10 Paying regard to social, scientific, cultural and ethical values during the collecting, interpreting, practicing and announcing processes of the architectural data and the ability to teach these values to others (Area Specific Competency).
- P11 Developing strategy, policy and application plans concerning the architectural issues area and the ability to evaluate the end results of these plans within the frame of quality processes (Area Specific Competency).
- P12 Using the knowledge and the skills for problem solving and/or application (which are processed within the architecture) in inter-disciplinary studies (Area Specific Competency).
