This course introduces students to the fundamental concepts of buildings and architecture through a simple, engaging, and exploratory approach. It familiarizes learners with the purpose, components, and basic design principles of buildings, helping them understand how architecture responds to human needs and environmental conditions
The course focuses on developing an understanding of how buildings function and adapt to different climates, cultures, and uses, with emphasis on basic structural stability, materials, and spatial planning. Through hands-on and interactive learning methods such as sketching, model-making, brainstorming, and simple design exercises, students are encouraged to think creatively and explore elementary eco-friendly building ideas.
