Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences · Interior Architecture and Environmental Design · Undergraduate
Course Objective
This course aims to provide architects and interior designers with the skills of designing and detailing appropriate building elements against factors such as wind, water, heat, noise etc. affecting the building to obtain a healthy, safe, and aesthetic building. Another aim of the course is to evaluate the possibilities of adaptation and development of Turkish traditional construction techniques in the design of building elements.
Course Content
This course is generally concerned with the structural and constructional principles of the foundation, wall, and slab components of a building. In this course, the design and detailing of building elements are covered.

4. Academic honesty: It is expected that you will have your own endeavors and your work in studies that will be subject to note of the course. In non-moral situations such as plagiarism, copying, you will be subject to disciplinary action and necessary criminal sanctions as required by the relevant regulation of the IZU.
5. The assessments set forth in this footnote are fixed and no extra compensation measurements for grading will be made.
Course Learning Outcomes
- Gaining the ability to design and detail the building elements by having information about the type of structural system, material selection and construction system used.
- The foundation type is selected according to the soil capacity, water effect, and building construction method.
- Mekânların yük, yangın, su, ısı, ses gibi etkilere karşı korunmasını ve estetik bir görünüm elde edilmesini sağlayacak şekilde düşeyde (döşeme) ve yatayda (duvar) bölümlendirilmesi sağlanır.
- The possibilities of adapting and developing traditional Turkish construction techniques according to the requirements of the age are explored.
