Installation Effect of Field Measurement and Practical Exercise on Environmental Elements Upon Architectural Beginners in Composite Region

Abstract

For enhancing the general level of understanding toward architectural environmental design, it is important not only for ordinal architectural students but also for architectural beginners in composite regions to imagine environmental elements in their design. In this study, as a means of addressing this issue, educational program, in which field measurement on thermal environment and practical exercise on ultraviolet environment was introduce for the discovery of environmental elements in living areas, had been developed and conducted for architectural beginners in composite regions. The results confirmed that the program successfully enhanced students' discovery on environmental elements even if it is very simple. On the other hand, some areas were highlighted for improvement with regards to the content of the lectures and reports in the program.
