This course explores the architecture and cities in the Mediterranean region. It is essential to understand how Mediterranean architecture is shaped not only by a specific geographical boundary, but also by considering climatic, socio-cultural, physical, and environmental factors. This course aims to improve students' knowledge levels and critical thinking skills in design by conducting research and analyzing Mediterranean architectural precedents and urban morphologies. For this purpose, creative design approaches unique to the Mediterranean, both functionally and aesthetically, are discussed in an interactive environment, within the context of urban settlement, topography, context, spatial volume and mass form of buildings, surface characteristics, and use of local materials as well as traditional and modern construction techniques.

Building elements are required to perform their primary function within the required lifespan. However, building elements are exposed and affected by the environmental conditions. Weather resistance, thermal behavior, fire resistance, acoustic behavior and structural performances are characteristics which will be analyzed. Climatic conditions such as solar cycle, solar radiation and energy, environmental degradation such as air, water, soil pollution, and the element and material characteristics such as insulation, heat transmittance, and degradation are considered parameters. Service Life Prediction (SLP) examines desired performances with the acceptable maintenance cost. The aim of the course is to examine the building elements and environmental impacts by systematic approaches of Service Life Prediction, Life Cycle Assessment and Building Performance Evaluation in terms of sustainable building.
