8 ARCH BASIC DESIGN I This course aims to help students understand the world through abstraction and conceptualization of their surroundings: shapes, forms, figures, colors, textures, materials, scales, space(s) and the like, and use this understanding to produce organizations: designs as compilations, compositions, arrangements and rearrangements. The series of assignments is intended to develop the skills of students in simultaneous efforts of analysis (reading/decoding) and development (writing/ encoding) of relationships. While requirements and restrictions help them concentrate on specific aspects of design thinking, hands- and minds-on experimentation within the 2-D or 3-D design space expand the possibilities. The product and the process are equally valued in the design studio. The process is a semiindividual one which is supported via critical discussions during the studio sessions. The students develop skills in communication and evaluation design ideas while taking the first steps in critical design thinking. The process and the product are achieved via logging, sketching, taking notes and photographing. Credit(s): 6 ECTS Credit(s): 12 Term(s): Fall only ARCH BASIC DESIGN II Basic Design II is the second-semester design studio during which students advance the concepts they became familiar with in Basic Design I. The discoveries related to compositions, compilations, arrangements and rearrangements from the first-semester studio are explored with higher concentration on the two basic components of the design process: human and spatial. Weekly and monthly assignments motivate students to explore space(s) as analytically organized sequences, hubs, clusters and containers, while the human component is examined as the perceiver, the contained, the acquiescent and/or the objector to that very space. Students investigate the concepts of form, light and material as space-makers. Three-dimensional physical model making helps students understand the role of surfaces, solids and voids in creating spaces. The material properties of the medium used in model making expand the ideas related to connections and detailing in construction. The computational technologies become an inherent part of the studio, supporting, if not driving the studies. Credit(s): 6 ECTS Credit(s): 12 Term(s): Spring only ARCH ARCHITECTURAL GEOMETRY Geometry deals with size, shape and the relative position of figures in space and helps us understand the world as we experience it. It is an indisputable part of architectural design, as it plays a key role from the initial steps of the design process to the actual construction. A solid background in geometry is necessary not only for form-finding studies in architecture but also for accurate communication of design ideas. Architectural Geometry is an undergraduate course offered to firstyear students. As fluency in geometry enhances the cultivation and communication of design ideas, this course aims to help understand the fundamentals of 3D space and the geometric definition of objects. Further goals include familiarization with concepts of geometry and techniques in representation: descriptive geometry. An advanced version of the course concentrates on the use of contemporary computing techniques of geometry in architecture. ARCH DESIGN COMPUTING Design Computing encourages analytical design thinking. Computational methodologies as well as computational technologies and tools lie at the core of the subject. The goal is to help students understand and work on design problems (or solutions) with the computational mind: to analyze the problem, discover and define the discrete sub-problematic(s), propose a solution system to generate organizations (designs), and evaluate the products. But not in a conventional linear way, all of the above are to be applied to the final product, too. Design computing builds skills on top of the ones learned in Architectural Geometry I, but moves on to a further step by placing computing (via the computer) as the driver of the studies. While geometric knowledge helps students build precisely-controlled geometrical compositions, algorithms become the exploratory tools to investigate emergent forms of design. The two-way reflection of ideas with the design studio, Basic Design II, from and to Design Computing helps students harness design ideas, concepts of computation and geometry simultaneously. ARCH INTRODUCTION TO ARCHITECTURE I This course intends to expose first-year students to the canonical works, actors and ideas that have shaped the culture and history of world architecture over time, while installing a strong awareness of the historical/ social contexts within which these emerge. As a way of introducing the basicl vocabulary of the architectural profession, we will look at settlement forms, building types/components and construction techniques over different historical periods and across different cultures. The first half of the course will cover the period from prehistoric human settlements, through Egyptian, Greek/ Hellenistic and Roman periods, to the long Middle Ages in the Mediterranean, Asia and the Americas. Lectures will be complemented by selected readings of architectural and literary texts and sometimes films: there will be discussion and writing requirements in addition to exams. Credit(s): 7 ECTS Credit(s): 14 Term(s): Fall only 8

9 ARCH INTRODUCTION TO ARCHITECTURE II Following chronologically from ARCH 169, this course will continue to introduce the canonical works, actors and ideas that have shaped architectural culture across the globe, presenting them as part of the larger social, political, cultural and urban contexts within which they emerge. Beginning with the Renaissance and Enlightenment in Europe, it will cover the modern world from a cross-cultural and comparative perspective. We will look at buildings, cities and landscapes as both the agents and physical manifestations of the social, political and cultural transformations wrought by the industrial revolution, colonialism, nationalism, two world wars, modernization and more recently, globalization. Lectures will be complemented by selected readings of architectural and literary texts and sometimes films: there will be discussion and writing requirements in addition to exams. Credit(s): 7 ECTS Credit(s): 14 Term(s): Spring only outside the traditional and composite group of building materials. Credit(s): 6 ECTS Credit(s): 12 Term(s): Spring only ARCH STATICS OF MATERIALS I The aim of this course is to study the methods of analyzing load-bearing systems. ARCH STRENGTH OF MATERIALS During this course, exercises related to the introduction of the forces that are created on load bearing elements and the dimensioning of these elements are done with the aim of designing and dimensioning structural systems. While basic concepts about strength are dealt with during the course, different types of structural forces, buckling, shearing, moment of inertia, bending etc. are all investigated under separate titles. ARCH ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN I The aim of this course is to teach the student by means of a project of his/her own design that will be produced in the class, the skills to evaluate concepts of space, to think systematically, to express his/her ideas and to evaluate problems from different points of view. Credit(s): 6 ECTS Credit(s): 12 Term(s): Fall only ARCH ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN II The aim of the course is to prepare the student to produce an architectural project by assisting him/her to understand the basic criteria of user, environment, program, function and structural design that are the principles of advanced design. Computational design will play an important role in this studio course, and students will be expected to develop the design parameters that guide their projects. Credit(s): 6 ECTS Credit(s): 12 Term(s): Spring only ARCH BUILDING MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGIES I The aim of the course is to acquaint the student of architecture with the general characteristics of traditional building materials such as natural stone, soil and wood that have been used in the past and are still in use, and to then discuss their definitions, specific characteristics and uses in construction.
