This project seeks to design Outdoor Learning Spaces utilizing the interconnected courtyard spaces of Ahmadu Bello University Zaria Campus. This is to give a convivial alternative to the traditional indoor classrooms especially in the tropics. The study further explores the immense types of Outdoor Pedagogy we have and their overarching benefits to students and lecturers. Also, the viability and acceptability as well as concerns of people about this project is measured and information gathered from these sources has been meticulously documented.
Chapter four defines the boundary of the project by stating in specific terms the project brief, putting into cognisance the analysis of the location, physical and regional settings, climatic characteristics, soil and vegetation etc. The design brief is to design an Outdoor learning space using the interstitial spaces in Ahmadu bello University Zaria as pilot project for universities in the tropics. In summary, this design proposal attempts to give a more convenient alternative to the usual traditional classrooms we are used to, even as unfavourable as it is to our climate.

ABSTRAK Sejak diisytiharkan sebagai sebuah universiti pada tahun 1972, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) telah melahirkan ribuan graduan setiap tahun dalam pelbagai bidang. Kampus utama telah dipindahkan dari Jalan Yahya Petra (dahulunya dikenali Jalan Semarak), Kuala Lumpur ke kampus baru yang terletak di Skudai, Johor pada tahun 1978 untuk menampung populasi pelajar yang semakin meningkat. Selain itu keluasan kampus sedia ada di Kuala Lumpur tidak dapat menampung pertambahan fakulti bagi program pengajian baru. Sebuah pelan pembangunan awal untuk membina kampus baru telah direncanakan pada tahun 1973 dengan keluasan 2,828 ekar di Skudai. Kini kampus UTM JB telah mencapai usia lebih 40 tahun sejak pembinaannya. Dari pemerhatian, konsep perancangan dan pembinaan awal kampus UTM JB adalah secara berjejari dan berpusat (radial concentric). Pusat pentadbiran (bangunan canseleri) dan kemudahan sokongan utama (masjid dan perpustakaan) menjadi lingkaran tumpuan dengan dikelilingi pusat pengajian (fakulti) serta kawasan kediaman kolej mahasiswa. Seiring dengan perkembangan semasa terdapat kecenderungan kewujudan kluster pembangunan baru dalam kampus UTM JB yang dibuat secara piecemeal dan kurang bersepadu dengan kluster pembangunan terawal sedia ada. Situasi ini dipercayai akan menyebabkan usaha untuk mewujudkan sebuah persekitaran universiti yang berdaya mampan, kondusif dan berintergrasi menjadi sukar tanpa sebuah pelan induk pembangunan kampus yang komprehensif. Kajian awalan mendapati wujudnya ketidaksalinghubungan laluan pejalan kaki, penggunaan ruang sedia ada yang tidak optimum, masalah kekurangan tempat letak kenderaan, ketidakjelasan hierarki jalan, percanggahan zon guna aktiviti bangunan, kelemahan identiti rekabentuk dan imej senibina menjadi cabaran dalam usaha merancang pembangunan masa hadapan kampus UTM JB. Penyelesaian kepada cabaran ini memerlukan sebuah perancangan fizikal yang lebih stategik dengan mengambil kira kelestarian dan kelangsungan kewangan yang berterusan selain dapat memenuhi keperluan teknologi dan arus pemodenan sistem pembelajaran semasa. Penyediaan pelan induk pembangunan kampus merupakan salah satu pendekatan yang dipercayai dapat membantu pihak pentadbiran menguruskan ruang universiti dengan lebih baik dan berintergrasi antara pelbagai komponen pembangunan ke arah mewujudkan suasana pembelajaran dan bekerja yang kondusif pada zaman Revolusi Industri 4.0 (IR 4.0). Tujuan utama kajian ini adalah untuk meneliti usaha UTM menyediakan sebuah pelan induk pembangunan kampus yang dikenali sebagai Pelan Induk Pembangunan Kampus UTM Johor Bahru 2017-2035. Zon pembangunan sedia ada dan berpotensi telah ditentu aturkan melalui kewujudan 5 Enklaf Utama, 12 Sub-enklaf dan 37 Zon dalam pelan induk ini.

Former William Balmain Teachers College, Lindfield, later University of Technology: Ku-ring-gai (UTS) Michael Bogle The William Balmain Teachers College in a northern suburb of Sydney was constructed in stages from 1968-1989 during a period of rapid expansion in tertiary education. The University of Technology (UTS) Ku-ring-gai later occupied the Lindfield campus until 2015. Currently, the site is being developed for medium density housing and a regional high school.

In the 1960s-70s, unrest in universities leads to the spilling out of the academic institution into the city - as is manifested in the student protests. The encounter between university and city is rapidly appropriated by architecture that turns it into one of the most used and abused metaphors to legitimate a sought-after epistemic break from the functionalist dogma. By considering the design and intellectual work done by Shadrach Woods and Giancarlo De Carlo on the changing condition of higher education, this article discusses two approaches to the metaphor university=city. While similar in their intentions – to the point of being grouped under the same label of “mat-building” – they diverge widely in the ways they propose how the architectural project could address such a metaphor.

The built environment implicitly regulates bodily movement, whether through decorative curbs marking areas as private or lighting accentuating pimples to drive youths away. Drawing on my own observational research and empirical studies, I argue tacit boundaries such as these are harsher for people under the weather in the threefold sense of suffering from inclement conditions, ill-health and oppressive social climates. Inasmuch as design filters people in these ways, space is “selectively permeable.” I pursue these lines through Shusterman’s somaesthetics and Gibson’s affordance theory. A tenet in somaesthetics is that culture, mind, body and values are codependent. Gibson’s framework likewise holds that body, values and environment are codefined. An icy stairway, for example, may afford falling to the infirmed and look threatening to them more than it does to the healthy, who therefore value it differently. The same pattern occurs in cultural-political environments: a woman may see an urban setting as more threatening than a man because it places her at greater bodily risk, just as citizens in an authoritarian society may face more danger than tourists, experiencing things accordingly. That agents face objectively different obstacles in the same environment allows for selectively permeable design and it makes affordances political.

An account of the philosophical and aesthetic choices behind the designs of three British university campuses of the early 1960s: Sussex, UEA and York, drawing on the archives of Denys Lasdun (UEA), published articles of Basil Spence (Sussex) and unstudied recordings of Sir Andrew Derbyshire (York). I trace these architects' design choices to a pedagogical idealism deriving ultimately from mediaeval theology via the mediation of Cardinal Newman and his readers in postwar Britain.

Public art is an art form installed in public spaces for public view. Its existence in the public space is often perceived to enhance the landscape setting and spatial experience for people. The manifestation of public art may be associated with the culture and identity of an area to give a positive impact to the public. Nevertheless, there are also public art that has little relationship to its surrounding context and merely stands on its own. In Malaysia, public art practice has begun to transform the public realm through revitalizing urban public spaces. While it is common to find public art in urban spaces nowadays, however, the potential role of public art in the campus public space has not received much attention. The campus landscape plays an important role to the campus communities as a place where they dwell, interact, learn and gain various experiences. The campus spaces act as a ground where knowledge is disseminated and activities are conducted. This paper examines the values of public art in the IIUM campus public spaces and their potentials to play a greater role in creatively uplifting the campus landscape. The methods for this study were conducted through literature review, case study, observation and questionnaire survey among IIUM students, staffs and visitors. The first part of the findings discusses several types and functions of public art in campus public space based on the user needs and requirements. The second part of the findings reveals the values ascribed by the campus community towards the existing public art and potential forms of public art to be introduced in the campus landscape. This paper concludes that public art has potential to rejuvenate the IIUM campus image as 'Garden of Knowledge and Virtue' and improve peoples' experiences in creating a better living and learning environment, following certain considerations as discovered in the findings.

This article examines the urban-planning design and elaboration of the Delft and Eindhoven University of Technology complexes. What were the underlying ideas, views and designs for the two complexes, how and to what extent were they put into practice, and how have the complexes developed over time? How did, and does, the surrounding urban landscape influence the form of the campus, and how is the campus linked to the city? This comparative analysis focuses on the campus as an interplay of buildings and open space, emphasising the character of the spatial whole and the changes that have taken place within it.

Universities have crucial importance in producing and transmitting knowledge, and formulating an effective and critical public sphere that meets the public with the university population. Their spatial characteristics of universities also refer to an important position within the urban fabric: with dense students' and academi-cians' population, they occupy a considerable amount of spaces in cities. Their spatial formations change over time as new buildings are added and student numbers increased. In that respect, this article seeks to explore how the spatial configurations of university campuses have evolved over time in Turkey. In order to explore the changes in spatial layout of university campuses, especially the organization of public spaces and their relations with the campus buildings, we have narrowed our focus through a chronological reading. Two methods of collecting data are used: First, we reviewed design articles about university campuses in architectural periodicals and online architecture databases. Second, the Five Year Development Plans of Turkish State Planning Organization (DPT 5 Yıllık Planları), have been examined to follow the governmental considerations. In addition, we made interviews with some of the architects who took part in the campus planning process of the cases that are selected for this article. In conclusion, analysis of the spatial configuration of campuses in Turkey reveals some unexpected insights about particular design approaches of universities. The analysis of specific campuses in chronological order shows that it is possible to trace specific campus design tendencies that are peculiar to specific periods.

With the Syrian war that started in 2011, millions of people have migrated to foreign countries and still continue to migrate. They continue their lives in refugee camps that reach remarkable sizes in urban areas especially those in countries neighboring Syria like Turkey and Jordan. International humanitarian organizations; are providing food, shelter and medical care to refugees in these living areas. But there is no doubt that these people who continue their lives with serious traumas also need mentally healing places and activities too.
In this study; the art paintings on the façades of the Jordan-Za’atari refugee camp structures, which emerged with the Syrian migration after 2011 and hosts over 80,000 people, was analyzed. Thus, its contribution to the healing power and the transfer of cultural images has been revealed. Also in this study, the applicability to existing building facades and walls of the camp of refugee camps in Turkey have been examined. In this way, it has been demonstrated that camp environments which are often criticized to be isolated spaces can be turned into more liveable environments with simple interventions as well as comprehensive and costly changes.

This paper develops a framework for understanding pedestrian mobility pattern from WiFi traces and other data sources. It can be used to forecast demand for pedestrian facilities such as railway stations, music festivals, campus, airports, supermarkets or even pedestrian area in city centers. Scenarios regarding the walkable infrastructure and connectors, the scheduling (trains in stations, classes on campus, concerts in festivals) or the proposed services in the facility may then be evaluated. It is inspired by activity-based approach. We assume that pedestrian demand is driven by a willingness to perform activities. Activity scheduling decision is explicitly taken into account. Activity-based approach for urban areas is adapted for pedestrian facilities, with similarities (scheduling behavior) and differences (no “home” in pedestrian facilities, thus no tours). This is a first attempt to define a integrated system of choice models in the context of pedestrian facilities.

"The paper examines the relationship between space and learning in university context. The research questions are focused on identifying and characterizing the spatial properties of the university learning settings, which support and facilitate the generation, sharing and acquisition of knowledge. These
interactions rely on a social and informational framework, which is expressed differently in every setting. It aims at identifying urban and architectural settings that host knowledge acquisition and or transmission. It will offer a tool to create or modify a setting that facilitates predetermined experiences and interactions. This
tool also enables the creation of an urban/architecture system, creating a new sense of continuous learning place. It scopes several thematics: scale, learning mode, actors, interaction, environmental characteristics and morphology; aiming at
a succinct and structured characterization of every type of space."

Biophilic has been already known since longtime ago in terms of creating connectivity between human being and the sur-rounded environment, especially with living realm that contain natural habitat. In interior design, biophilic can be appli-cated into many types of building from private to public function. Based on understanding of biophilic design, the hu-manity’s taking place in nature and vice versa, mutuality, respect and enriching relationship should bring implication to bigger and wider level than just as an exception. Is it true that biophilic design can embrace and raise the well-being, productivity and happiness throughout the people that use the biophilic design-based space more than the non-biophilic design-based space? And how the elements of interior of a workplace should adopt the biophilic concept to realize the up-lifting environment to support the process of working? What strategies should designers to plan and build the comfortable and supporting places and spaces for the users to enhance the happiness and productivity that hopefully can make great impact not only for the private reasons but also the bigger purpose for the socially, economically and more further the environmentally aspects. This research will take small part of the big picture of how biophilic design in interior and many other nomenclature of design can make big impact of the human being and other realm and ecosystem well-being.

V roce 1984 vyšla kniha Campus: An American Tradition, která získala od Společnosti historiků architektury Hitchcockovu cenu, pojmenovanou po asi nejvýznamnějším americkém historikovi architektury 20. století. Dodnes je kanonickou a nepřekonanou prací k tomuto tématu, o němž jsme hovořili s autorem knihy Paulem V. Turnerem, emeritním profesorem dějin architektury na Stanfordově univerzitě.

The proposal focused on the University of the Philippines Diliman campus, which is designated as the flagship campus of the UP System, and its adherence to the Development Principles and Design Guidelines, which was approved by the Board of Regents in its 1300 th meeting held on August 2014. This policy, which is intended as the first part of the UP Master Development Plan, is meant to guide the development of all UP properties in the midst of a rapidly changing environment. The output of the study, which will include of an audit of all buildings in the flagship campus, will lead to a better understanding of how the guidelines are being implemented, and what steps need to be taken to improve practices.

The interaction between people and built environment has been examined in the field of architectural psychology since the 1960s. In this field, “spaciousness” has been one of the most significant concepts which have been frequently reported in the semantic differential scales, such as Spaciousness-Crampedness Scale (S-C-S) developed by İmamoğlu (1975) and used in several experimental studies via real rooms and scale models in 1970s and 1980s. However, there are still crucial architectural dimensions which have not been studied yet. The main aim of this thesis is to assess spaciousness factors in buildings via S-C-S, and within this framework, the second aim is to test the reliability of computer simulations as current research tools in architectural psychology research. This thesis is composed of a preliminary study and two groups of experimental studies (each group consisting of four consecutive experiments). In literature survey, the last 45 years of architectural psychology was reviewed, and as a developing research tool, computer simulations were examined with their current and potential features. The first group of experiments was conducted through computer simulations to develop a procedure for the second group, which aimed to test the effects of permanent components of rooms on spaciousness. Ceiling height, types of ceiling and floor (flat and stepped), and plan geometry (rectangular and trapezoidal) were assumed to have an effect on spaciousness (appeal, planning, and space freedom). 350 participants, composed of both students and staff at METU, participated in the experiments. Sample spaces were selected from METU classrooms, and their detailed computer simulations and derivatives were used as stimuli. The results of the experiments indicated that higher ceiling made the room more spacious. The types of ceiling did not affect spaciousness in general. Flat ceiling indicated higher levels of space freedom compared to stepped ceiling. Classrooms with stepped floors were evaluated as better planned than those with flat floors. Plan geometry did not affect participants’ evaluations of spaciousness significantly. Results of the experiments demonstrate that the effects of some components of rooms on spaciousness can be identified via computer simulations.

La conférence propose de réviser la croissance de l’université de Los Andes et la transformation de son contexte immédiat au centre de la ville de Bogota. L'étude de ce fragment urbain offre un intérêt particulier en raison de ses singularités géographiques et de ses antécédents historiques qui font partie structurelle de la mémoire urbaine. On s’intéressera d’ abord aux changements récents et à venir de l’espace, pour après examiner les implications sociales, culturelles et physiques supposées par les rapports entre une université et ses acteurs, d’ un côté, et la cité et de la citoyenneté, de l’autre.

YTÜ Foreign Language High School
A new campus project is being carried on in Davutpafla Settlement by Y›ld›z Technical University. This project is composed of the existing building’s restoration, construction of Engineering and Social Faculties buildings, construction of administrative buildings, academy buildings, student dormitories, personal housings, recreational and sport areas, and a techno-park construction. “Foreign Language High School” is one of the pioneer works which is considered and applied according to this project. The building is designed for approximately 2600 students and 166 academic stuffs and includes 144 classrooms, 18 audio visual rooms, lecturer rooms, administration unit, library, multi functional hall, self access rooms, cafeteria and service units. Although the entire project has 18,500 m2 area, for the first stage of construction 2/3 of the project is completed. Organization of spaces to have an important effect on education was considered as an important design criteria. From this point of view the main design criteria is the inner street conception which is affected the main building’s architectural form. The main architectural formation is considered as an inner street forms the entrance axis, education units faces to the street placed on the right sides, academic, administration and the other educational units (library, audio visual rooms, etc.) placed on the other side.

A democratização do ensino superior ocorrida em Portugal a partir da década de 1970 assim como as transformações sociais e políticas induzidas pelo aumento da população com formação superior, vieram criar forte pressão sobre o ensino superior e, consequentemente, sobre os recintos universitários.
Este processo, reproduzido à escala mundial, foi acompanhado pela construção de novas infra- estruturas universitárias, generalizadamente designadas por campus, independentemente das suas características morfológicas e programas funcionais.
Com base nas propostas de classificação tipológica apresentadas por Claes Caldenby (2009), Pablo Campos Calvo-Sotelo (2011) e John Worthington (2009) é proposta uma leitura dos modelos adoptados na construção e expansão de infra-estruturas universitárias a partir da segunda metade do séc. XX e das dinâmicas estabelecidas entre estas e as cidades em que estão inseridas.
A diversidade de infraestruturas universitárias não pode ser analisada independentemente da função instrumental e contributo social e económico das próprias universidades, nomeadamente o relevo atribuído a cada uma das três áreas da sua missão: educação, investigação e serviço público; a sua cultura, marca, história, tradições e património; e o seu foco, de âmbito regional, nacional ou internacional. Tais características estão subjacentes à concepção do espaço físico da universidade, revelando a sua identidade na forma como se localizam e distribuem no território, e nas relações físicas e funcionais que estabelecem com a envolvente.

The Sterling Memorial Library (1927-31) at Yale University employed the ecclesiastical metaphor to imagine a new place for religion in the modern university, where secular and scientific concerns increasingly overshadowed religion. Architect James Gamble Rogers patterned the neo-Gothic library after a cathedral, complete with entrance nave, an Alma Mater altar piece, and Gutenberg Bible relic. Yet the range of the building’s interpretations, from casting religion as an omnipresent background to modern inquiry to mocking religion, reveals religion’s transitioning role in higher education in the twentieth century.
