Basic Information
Critical Presentation of Construction and Comfort-providing Technologies in Architecture Focusing On Their Performative And Cultural Aspects. Special Attention Is Given to Prevalent Local Construction Technologies. We Will Also Discuss The Concept Of "performance" in The Built Environment and How It Has Influenced The Adoption of Certain Construction Technologies. Learning Outcomes# at The End of The Course The Students Will Learn to Apply a Critical Approach in Discussing The Choice of Construction and Comfort-providing Technologies in Various Architectural Contexts. The Course Will Assist The Students In Realizing That The Adoption of Construction and Comfort-providing Technologies and Their Distribution Is Influenced Not Only By Their Functional Role But Also By Cultural, Social and Ideological Factors That Go Beyond The Narrow Field of Structural Engineering.
