Abstract

Mimarlık eğitimi, teknik bilgiler ve tasarım becerilerini kazandırmanın yanında güncel ve küresel durumlar için de mimar adaylarını hazırlamakla sorumludur. Tüm dünya için ortak bir tehdit olarak küreselleşen çevre sorunlarına yönelik sürdürülebilirlik, mimarlık eğitiminde giderek daha fazla önem kazanmıştır. Bu nedenle sürdürülebilir mimarlık eğitimi, tüm dünyada ortak bir anlayışla zorunlu olarak tanımlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda literatürde mimarlık eğitimine sürdürülebilirliğin entegrasyonuna dair birçok çalışma mevcuttur. Ancak mimarlık okulları, sürdürülebilirlik bilincini kapsamlı bir yaklaşımla bütünleştirmede yetersiz kalmaktadır. Bu okulların, sürdürülebilir bir inşa edilmiş çevreyi öngörebilmek için sürdürülebilirlik ve tasarım arasındaki bağlantıya dair somut olarak görülerek, yaşayarak, yaparak öğrenme gibi etkin öğrenme yoluyla kurgulanan temel bir anlayışı kapsaması gerekmektedir. Bu nedenle güncel literatür incelemesi yoluyla; sürdürülebilirliğin mimarlık eğitiminde uygulamaya dayalı içeriklerle ve öğrenme aracı olarak fiziki öğrenme ortamının nasıl ele alındığı çerçevesinde araştırma sorularına cevaplar aranmıştır. Literatürdeki argümanlara dayanarak bu makalede, kapsamlı ve bütüncül bir sürdürülebilir mimarlık eğitimi için, duyarlı bir müfredatın yanında eğitim yapısının sürdürülebilir tasarım bilincini desteklemedeki rolü tartışılmaktadır. Çalışmada, sürdürülebilir mimarlık eğitiminde öğrenci öğrenimini motive etmede okulun oynadığı potansiyel rol, Montpellier Mimarlık Okulu örneği üzerinden vurgulanmıştır. Sürdürülebilirliğin mimarlık eğitimine entegrasyonuna dair güncel çalışmalarda revizyonlar gerektiği gibi yeni nesil öğrenme bağlamında fiziki öğrenme ortamı da dikkate alınması gereken önemli bir öğrenme aracıdır. Bu makale, gelecek uygulamalarda bütüncül bir yaklaşımın önemine dair eğitimciler, öğrenciler ve profesyoneller için bir referans sağlamaktadır.

Abstract

Architectural education is responsible for preparing architect candidates for current and global situations as well as providing technical knowledge and design skills. Sustainability has also become increasingly important in architectural education for globalizing environmental problems that are a common threat all over the world. For this reason, sustainable architectural education has been defined as mandatory all over the world. In this context, there are many studies in the literature on the integration of sustainability into architectural education. However, architecture schools are inadequate in integrating sustainability awareness with a comprehensive approach. In order to foresee a sustainable environment, these schools need to cover a basic understanding that is constructed with effective learning such as seeing, experiencing, and doing regarding the connection between sustainability and design. Therefore, with the current literature review; answers to research questions were sought within the framework of how sustainability is addressed in architectural education with application-based content and the physical learning environment as a learning tool. Based on the literature, this article discusses the role of the educational structure in supporting sustainable design awareness along with a sensitive curriculum for a comprehensive and holistic sustainable architectural education. The study highlights the potential role of the school in motivating student learning in sustainable architecture education through the example of the Montpellier School of Architecture. Just as revisions are needed in current studies, the physical learning environment is also an important learning tool that needs to be taken into account in the context of new generation learning. This article provides a reference for educators, students and professionals on the importance of a holistic approach in future practices.
