Subject of course


In the context of escalating climate change and rising temperatures atributed to anthropogenic climate change, a comprehensive reevaluation and reorientation within contemporary architectural culture are proving to be inevitable. As part of the seminar "Learning from the Mediterranean Heritage," students engage deeply with climateresilient low-tech strategies and materials through the analysis of architectural case studies fromMediterranean building history. The adaptability of the people in the Mediterranean region to the demanding climatic conditions, which is reflected in both ancient and contemporary architectural models, as well as specific construction methods or material solutions, provides answers to future questions. The continuous exchange of building culture throughout history in the Mediterranean allows for a comparative methodology in terms of architectural construction methods that have influenced each other. The main objective of the course is to explore the diverse architectural expressions in terms of low-tech solutions in construction and material use for green building. The students' scientific discourse will manifest in the form of theoretical contributions and will be summarized in a catalog of findings that can serve as a guide for future building culture.
