Course Objectives This course aims to have undergraduate and graduate students learn the forces and structural effects affecting tall buildings, the structural behavior of tall buildings in the face of these forces, and principles of structural organization. In this context development of project reading skills and forming creative ideas in design are aimed through structural study of selected tall buildings and projects.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Learns the structural organization principles of high-rise buildings, structural analysis, development of new and creative propositions.
  • Reflects the knowledge acquired through reading and observation to the academic context.
  • Reflects the theoretical knowledge acquired during the process of the course to practice in the area of spatial analysis.
  • Establishes the relation of social structure and space independently and/or at interdisciplinary level.
  • Makes research at urban and architectural scales, interprets the results, scales of architecture, makes an effective presentation that brings together theoretical knowledge and the subject of the research.
Course Content Structural forces and their re-orientation in tall buildings; alternative structures; review of structures and project reading; structural compliance; alternative structural content of propositions.
