The main objective of this course is to teach, how interior designers, architects and environmental designers can succeed in achieving the consistency between culture and environment in a new project a planning, steps, strategies and evaluation techniques in project design and realization process. In design development process, use of design elements which increase the consistency between culture and built-environment and have positive social meaning for the customers and users , will enhance the acceptance of the design and the continuity in culture and built-environment can be achieved. The aim is, starting from the design phase, how the project realization process can become “transparent”, how the environmental and cultural elements of this process can be evaluated and the project risks reduced and how built environment-culture consistency and continuity can be accomplished in new projects. Inthis context, research and project development principles and practices in vernacular architecture and cultural environments are discussed.
