Course Objectives The course conveys the basic knowledge of history and development of “global” and “Ottoman-Turkish” built environment of healthcare and hygiene.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • describe connections between different design fields.
  • classify main components of healthcare architecture and hygienic design.
  • compare historic and contemporary built environments of healthcare and hygiene.
  • illustrate multiple-scale approach in healthcare design.
  • present problems and potentials of interior design in historic and contemporary healthcare architecture.
Course Description This course introduces the literature of scapes, architecture and interior design of “healthcare” and “hygiene” as reflections of social, political, economic and cultural agendas of the eras and geographies. Different-scale examples to be examined include open public spaces, public buildings, hospitals, buildings for infectious diseases, psychiatric architecture, healthy homes and furniture design. The course will discuss how eventually the notion of “health” and “healthy-living” ignited and spread the Modern Movement in architecture during the twentieth century and onwards via analyzing global and Ottoman-Turkish examples.
