ARCH510 The Frontiers of Modern Architecture and Urban Design in the Early 20th Century (3 credits) This graduate seminar provides a critical review of the modern movements in architecture in the early twentieth century. It explores the cultural, social and political back ground of the “first machine age” by studying exemplary works, design principles and institutions of modern architecture. In this seminar, we will discuss the birth of new representational techniques in architectural drawing, which inspired many contemporary art and architectural movements; utopian city designs by well-known architects, such as Frank Lloyd Wright (“Broadacre City”), BrunoTaut (The “Stadtkrone”) and Le Corbusier (“The Radiant City”); and the influential Bauhaus school as the crystallization of the avant-garde movements. Ourinquiry is not limited, historically or geographically, to the so-called Western world. We will also expand the discussion, which usually begins and ends in Western Europe and North America to the “non-West”, i.e.,The Middle-East, East Asia, and North Africa, in order to consider the influence of European modernism in a global context as well as conceptions of modern architecture that emerge from the meeting or even clash of "European" and "non-European" cultural values and forms.

ARCH511 Architecture, Narrative and The City (3credits) Architectural texts, as well as others that relate to architecture, city and urban space are one of the main sources to understand the idea behind buildings, formation of architectural spaces, and their various representations in different regions of the world. Yet how far do these texts address the ways in which the architectures of distinct world regions have been affected by cultures, building traditions and civilizations else where ? This graduate seminar provides an introduction to architectural thinking and writing through a comparative and inter-cultural perspective. In addressing contemporary discourses on architecture, the city and urban design in a global context, we will divide the course into different geographical locations, and read passages that will enable the students, both aesthetically and intellectually, to associate the imaginative spaces of texts with there alspaces of architecture and cities. Among the cities we will examine are Delhi in India, Jakarta in Indonesia, Beijing in China, New York in the US, Berlin, London and Paris in 1930s Europe, Brasilia in 1950s Brazil, Algiers in Colonial Algeria, and Istanbul in early twentieth century Turkey.

ARCH513 History of Urban Form (3 credits) This course provides an introduction to the city as a collective work of architecture built over time. To this end, this course is about urban form and urban process seen in a historical perspective. This course seks to develop a fundamental understanding of theories and principles involved in the making of urban form; develop an operational understanding of

the city in the industrial age finally to the city of modernity. As such, emphasis is placed upon those ideas and factors having the greatest influence on current architectural and city planning thought and practice both in Turkey and around the world, with a critical view to the open question of the role of architecture and city planning in the future of the city.

ARCH 514 Morphology of Built Space (3 credits) This course aims to introduce the basic principles of built space and its elementary social logic. Through cases tudies, this course intends to analyze the strategic architectural decisions about built form and its spatial organization, and develop an awareness of their social consequences. The course is organized in a lecture-studio format, where students will be able to develop a fundamental understanding of the patterns and elements of built space and the ability to apply this knowledge towards design.

ARCH518 Sustainability and Green Buildings (3 credits) The course emphases negative impacts of the building sector onecosystem.Asking question, looking answers, finding solutions and analyze samples are the methods for this course. End of the semester the students will have ideas how the best possible way to design energy efficient, healthy and environmentally friendly structures. Student also will design green building by using the principles in this class as a final project.

ARCH519 Ecological Urbanism (3 credits) This course focuses on the concept of ecological design and planning, ecological urbanism: The concept of ecology, ecology science, landscape ecology, urban ecology. Ecology, design and planningrelations. Ecological urban planning theories: Landscape urbanism, Biophilic Design. Ecological layers of cities: Green Systems and green infrastructures. Energy systems, Water and hydrological systems, Transportation systems.Ecosystem services.Natural resources in the city, biological diversity and ecosystem sustainability.

ARCH599 Seminar (3 credits) The seminar only meets 9 times during semester; the majority of time will be spent in working in groups with shared interests determined by the instructor.One or two of our meetings will be dedicated to student presentations and a student symposium. In meetings, students are also expected to comment on each other’s assignments (the entire class or their respective group members); throughout the semester, students should also work with their mentors. Fully justify input of classmate’s critiques or commentswill be shared the designated time on the syllabus. All students need to read all classmates’ drafts and come ready to discuss in class. Instructor will review all comments in class and in the Forums, and assign points based on the quality of students comments.The students are responsible to write a research thesis of approximately 5000 words. By the end of the seminar, clearly, students will able to articulate their research argument in a well-written and orally presented project.
