| Course Objectives | The aim of the course is to teach students to systematically organize building construction process of a designed building project through strategic decisions, technological knowledge and methods. |
| Learning Outcomes |
The students who succeeded in this course;
|
| Course Description | The course will introduce the formulation of construction strategies and methods for architectural projects right before the start of the building process. Keeping in mind the “unique” character of construction projects, the course is based on “Designing an execution scenario" in a systematic way, which is much needed in the construction sector for efficient distribution of resources. In other words, the course is formulated as a practice to execute the building works on paper. |
