Course Description

In this course, on the basis of the concept of building production system; components, structure and environment of building production systems; characteristics of building production system and its differences from other production systems; product and demand characteristics of building and the effects of these characteristics on production are emphasized. Following the analysis of the building production systems in parallel with the social and technological developments in time; conventional, rationalized and industrialized building production systems are described from small scale to large scale, from simple to complex, from general to specialization. Major actors; their roles and responsibilities; their effects on the decisions taken during the process; their positive and negative characteristics as well as production process are evaluated according to resource utilization/speed/quality and the advantages and limitations of building production systems are emphasized in terms of design.
