Aim(s) of Course : Today´s life style has become a vital issue of simulated environments in technological, economic, social and interaction with the natural environment affecting all living and future generations which is both tangible and intangible dimension. Being an information society in the 21th century requires innovation and nurturing of new multi-disciplinary approaches and applicable models aiming for sustainable development for both present and future generations. Environment-friendly and sustainable designs express more meaning than only one style, designed by an artificial environment, ecological or sustainable natural environment and accurately established semantic bond interactions. In this direction, lecture should be discussed ´architectural environment as an artificial ecological system, architecture artificial environment design, while energy-sensitive solution offers in implementation and using stage are being researched, information accumulation needed for designer, decision-makers, practitioners and users is aimed.

Course Contents : The users should be aware of characteristics and purposes of organizational, structural and factual design which brings existential integrity to architectural objects in architectural ecological artificial environment by the help of ecological and sustainable designs. With this purpose, every environmentally-conscious architectural innovation should be set up along with all its objective values with their abstract and concrete realities on steady basis.
