The aim of the course:
To teach students how to benefit from nature and its opportunities in their designs, and to raise environmental awareness by giving information about the approaches and practices that have inspired many disciplines for centuries, offered solutions, provided resources and made nature a part of design.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : Have knowledge about natural and built environment interaction, nature-architecture relationships, conservation of nature and sustainability.6 - 7 - 8 - 101,3,5,
LO - 2 : Learn how nature guides designs and can be a solution element.6 - 7 - 8 - 91,3,5,
LO - 3 : They know the sectors such as public and private sectors, academia, non-governmental organizations in more detail, understand the differences between the sectors and know the career field suitable for their future plans,6 - 7 - 8 - 91,3,5,
LO - 4 : Be able to develop ideas on how to use nature directly or indirectly in the design process.6 - 7 - 8 - 91,3,5,
