Application of urban design theory, methods and techniques to specific large scale development and redevelopment endeavors with metropolitan areas. Strategies for change in large areas of cities to be developed over time, involving different actors. Developing designs in to a natural, man made, historical and cultural outlooks; enabling (F)desirable activity patterns; conceptualizing built form; providing infrastructure and services systems. Involves architecture and planning students enjoying work; requires individual designs on design and planning guidelines.

This course aims to develop a basic understanding of building structures and their components for city planners. To be familiar with different building typologies and scales. To explore the physical factors affecting building design. To organise teams and discuss critically among their colleagues. To argue and present building construction principles through architectural application drawings. 

It focuses on basic concepts about building and design. To explore user requirements, building typology, big-scale buildings and residential building types, as well as physical environmental factors effecting design, orientation of buildings, topography, and earthquake. Additionally introducing the basic concepts of buildings and structures with the principles of masonry and load bearing (frame) systems.

CP 202 Planning Design I Studio introduces students to the approaches, techniques, and tools of a typical planning procedure of a settlement. Concepts of analysis, planning, form and structure of urban settlements, reading of maps and use of graphical language, stages of planning process and design principles of selected sites will be discussed.

This course focuses on the evolution of environmental concerns and policies since 1960s and emergence of the sustainability concept. Sustainability is a socially constitutive process. The focus of the course is to understand how sustainability play out in social space- the role of actors, the multiple constructions of meaning, power relationships, the authority of competing knowledge and discourses, and the implications – social, economic and environmental - of many and varied sustainability pathways.
