Main parameters of indoor environmental in terms of noise could influence people health, fettle and ability to work. Therefore proper noise level is strongly important. The research was conducted in a didactic buildings – University of Technology located in Białystok, north-eastern Poland and education buildings the Warsaw University of Life Sciences, Faculty Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering located in center Poland. Research was devoted to issues related to the noise level in a classrooms of university during the didactic classes. In all rooms of both universities, during working days average noise level was under 40 dB. These values are in accordance with standards. Outside the buildings, the sound level was in the range of 30–35 dB. These values also comply with the guidelines.

The paper presents the results of research aimed at preliminary analysis of the students’ assessment of environmental conditions in selected university buildings in Poland. The study was conducted using questionnaires designed for this study. The questionnaire-based interviews were conducted in five university buildings in a few academic centres; the respondents were students attending classes in the buildings (N = 184) under study. The data were analysed both quantitatively and qualitatively with the use of behavioural mapping and space syntax analysis. The research results indicated students’ behavioral and emotional engagement with the places of study, their assessment of the functional performance of these facilities and proposals for improvement of the existing environment (in particular the creation of individual learning space and the “student space” in general), as well as the emotionally-charged and personalized image of individual buildings. Theoretical introduction into the subject matter of research is the paper „Space for university students: specific requirements for environment - theoretical approach”.

The paper presents a humanistic approach in investigation of people-environment relations within university buildings. Architecture of the university buildings is considered to be a learning environment from the position of “critical pedagogy of place”. It emphasizes the importance of the place itself expressed by the specific link between building and its location understood mainly in environmental terms - not only as a functional node but also as a vital element of cultural and also natural environment (sustainable development). It also presents some of the contemporary research on learning environment focused on the topic of students’ engagement - influencing learning success, and its multiple relation with university building facilities and architecture. The theoretical considerations are illustrated by some examples of university buildings from US. The paper is a theoretical introduction to the following paper: “Students’ assessment of environmental conditions in university buildings - the research report”, which describes the method and results of research (by the same author) proceeded in a few Polish university buildings.

The authors of this paper present the Middle East Technical University (METU) in Ankara and especially the Department of Architecture Building. The building designed by Turkish architects Altug and Behruz Cinici is an excellent example of brutalist style, which spread all over the world in the 1960s. Additionally, brutalist aesthetics was considered to be the most proper for university buildings in those years. METU Department of Architecture was the first building in Turkey presenting such character. In its architectural form, being still almost in pristine state, there are visible many solutions typical of brutalism, such as: strong articulation of solids composed in an orthogonal geometry; the use of raw buildings materials - particularly exposed concrete with the imprint of the wooden formwork; repetitive elements creating rhythms on facades; concrete sun-breakers, gargoyles and cornices. Altug and Behruz Cinici were also inspired by local architecture and that's why the building is brutalist but also "traditional". 2011 was the 50th anniversary of the competition for the Department of Architecture Building. Furthermore the architect, the patron (rector) and the landscape designer of the campus all passed away that year. Hence this paper has a historical significance.

Autorzy artykułu prezentują kompleks budynków Middle East Technical University (METU) w Ankarze, a w szczególności siedzibę Wydziału Architektury. Budynek zaprojektowany przez małżeństwo tureckich architektów Altug i Behruza Cinici jest doskonałym przykładem stylu brutalistycznego, który rozpowszechnił się na całym świecie w latach 1960. Estetyka brutalizmu była wówczas uważana za najbardziej odpowiednią dla obiektów uniwersyteckich. Wydział Architektury METU był pierwszym budynkiem w Turcji prezentującym taki właśnie charakter. Forma architektoniczna obiektu, pozostająca wciąż w oryginalnym stanie, ukazuje wiele rozwiązań właściwych dla brutalizmu, takich jak: mocna artykulacja brył zestawionych w ortogonalną kompozycję, stosowanie surowych materiałów budowlanych - przede wszystkim wyeksponowanego betonu z odciskiem drewnianych szalunków, uzyskiwanie rytmów na elewacjach przy użyciu powtarzalnych elementów, betonowe brise-soleil, żygacze i gzymsy. Altug i Behruz Cinici czerpali inspirację także z lokalnej architektury, dlatego budynek jest zarówno brutalistyczny jak i "tradycyjny" w wyrazie. W 2011 r. minęła 50 rocznica rozstrzygnięcia konkursu architektonicznego na projekt budynku Wydziału Architektury w Ankarze. Również w 2011 r. zmarli główny architekt, rektor, a także projektant zagospodarowania kampusu uniwersyteckiego, co sprawia, że poniższy artykuł ma dodatkowe znaczenie.
