Learning Outcomes
The learning outcomes are expected to be:
-the understanding of concepts, theories, methods and techniques that make up the modern architecture from the perspective of human sciences (sociology, anthropology, psychology, neurophysiology)
-the understanding and knowledge of the relationship that links architecture to society and generally to its wider context
- the understanding and knowledge of the perceptual qualities of space and architecture
-the knowledge of issues related to the multi-sensory environment, the body-motion-sensation-space relationship
-the development and cultivation of critical thought
-the familiarity with the interdisciplinary approaches of architecture
- collecting, analyzing, and synthesizing the data of an investigation
- familiarity with research procedures

Course Content (Syllabus)
In the context of the course is discussed the role of Ηuman Sciences in the establishment of the field of theory of architecture and in the formation of architectural thought and practice. Also is clarified the research process as a means of implementation of human sciences in the compositional process by the use of the appropriate tools and techniques. Moreover is examined the relationship among man and built environment through perceptual and experiencing processes and are presented in detail the concepts that nurture the design in the varying levels of its organisation. Reference is made to their diachronic presence in the field of architecture with insights into focal points of their semantic displacements. Also are examined issues of space-society relations, namely the remodeling of spaces and uses in the context of modern social phenomena, such as migration and mobility, exclusions, the homeless, multiculturalism, contemporary educational and environmental condition. The examination of these issues is taking place both at a theoretical level and through the analysis of examples, while reference is made to findings of field research surveys of teachers and others. In this context and for more effective uptaking and understanding of the content of the course we make extensive use of electronic audiovisual material, images (photographs, drawings and sketches), tables, charts and videos.
