Analysis, design and integration of building elements in the scope of a building designed specifically for the study. External wall systems (walls in contact with atmosphere and ground), window and door systems, floor systems (ground, intermediate and exposed-soffit floors, suspended ceilings, raised floors), vertical circulation systems (ramps and stairs), roof systems (flat and sloped roofs), partition systems (fixed and moveable partitions). Design of building element systems within the frame work of constructional design requirements, criteria and resources. Integration of building element systems in line with the holistic approach. Performance of building materials in buildings. Application-studio work: analysis, design and integration of each building element and its components according to pre-defined criteria and constraints.
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to;
Students will acquire building element design ability with a limited number design criteria.
Students will explore the construction process and application methods of materials.
Students will learn the structural system layout and explore its design.
Students will identify the performances of the building elements and make decision material selection in accordance with the expected performances under the building design process
Students will acquire ability of interacting building elements design with building design process and to work simultaneously at different scales.
Students will acquire the ability of detailing building elements junctions.

Determination and Evaluation of Performances of ReDesign
1. develop design thinking, interpret the physical, cultural, and philosophical relations of the building with the earth, and make spatial research and design in different scales and contexts.
2. use current technologies of representation, design, and production in the process of architectural design and spatial research.
3. acquire an architectural culture based on architectural history and theory, critical thinking, and nourished by the fields of art and design.
4. analyze the building and its sub-systems with construction methods and material decisions in line with sustainability principles, environmental factors, and user requirements.
5. recognize the laws, regulations, standards, disaster risks related to the profession; understand their social, cultural, environmental responsibilities within the framework of professional ethics.
6. approach environmental, urban, and social problems with sensitivity and use ecological and sustainable design strategies to build resilient human settlements.
7. can design for reuse and transformation by considering the impact of architecture on the natural and built environment, historical context, and cultural heritage in the design process.
Any test, assignment, paper, or report submitted by you and that has your name on it is presumed to be your own original work that has not previously been submitted for credit in another course or has not been written partially or completely by another person. In all of your assignments, you may use words or ideas written by other individuals in publications, web sites, or other sources, but only with proper attribution as explained in your course. If you are not clear about the expectations for completing an assignment or taking a test or examination, be sure to seek clarification from your instructor. Finally, you should keep in mind that as a member of the campus community, you are expected to demonstrate integrity in all of your academic endeavors and will be evaluated on your own merits.. The consequences of cheating and academic dishonesty is a formal discipline punishment as regulated by the Turkish Higher Educational Council.
