Architecture

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The learning objectives are achieved by the analytical and synthetic approaches as described below, as well as the feedback of the theoretical and laboratory part of the course. The analytical approach mainly concerns the theoretical part of the course and the formation of the terms of the architectural problem per historical period and in different cultural environments and spatial areas but also by the special characteristics of the place, natural and man-made. It also includes the acquaintance with main exponents “teachers” of architecture and their work and the development of students’ means of expression. The above concerns a series of lectures, which will seek and encourage the active participation of students. Ιntroduction to architectural design which is primarily a research process therefore cultivates special skills in students. After the successful completion of the course, students are expected to:

• know the general principles of architecture and to understand how they can contribute to the projects implemented by surveyors-geoinformatics engineers.
• know the basic architectural currents and the work of important architects.
• Have consolidated the principles of ergonomics and apply them.
• be aware of the importance of the environment in architecture.
• Understand the basic requirements of the functional program and develop the skills to transform it into a designed space, obeying the regulatory frame of the relevant regulations.
• evaluate-analyze the architectural solutions with criteria of functionality and construction possibilities.
• choose the appropriate materials and building methods

 

General Competences

• Search, analysis and synthesis of data and information, using the necessary technology
• Decision making
• Autonomous and team work
• Project design and management
• Respect for the natural environment
• Promoting free, creative and inductive thinking
