Outline and Purpose of the Course To gain a basic understanding of and learn the methods related to architectural and environmental planning and design. In other words, this class provides an outline of methods for observing, recording, and evaluating the relationship between humans and their environment, and using that evaluation as the basis for the planning and design of a living environment (that includes architecture). After an initial overview of schools of thought in the theory and practice of architectural planning, we will explain a new approach to architectural planning based on the study of human-environment interaction (which incorporates disciplines such as the behavioral and cognitive sciences), and how to apply this approach to planning and research case studies – taking a methodology that views architectural planning as the design of human-environment interaction.
Course Goals To foster the practical ability to design architectural space based on the interactions of humans with their environment 
C. Practical skills
C1. The ability to create buildings.
Schedule and Contents Architectural Planning & Environmental Psychology - 1 class: This class will provide an explanation of the position of environmental psychology and environmental behavior research, after an overview of the social nature, role, and meaning of architectural planning. Students will also learn about the problems that exist in architectural planning by examining examples.
People-Environmental Reserach & design 1:4 classes,Deepen understanding of human vision, behavior, dimensions, and posture as the basis of planning
People-Environmental Reserach & design 2: 3 classes,After reviewing past research findings on perception, behavior, cognition, memory, and intelligibility, learn basic concepts and knowledge for planning and designing architectural spaces based on the relationship between humans and the environment.
Safety, security and universal design- 2classes,Learn about architectural planning and universal design for diverse users from the perspectives of safety and accident prevention and usability
