Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The course aims to discuss current issues in the world of interior architecture through interaction with professionals in the sector, guest speakers who are experts in their fields, and practical applications through student projects. In this way, students will have the necessary knowledge and skills to understand the current dynamics in the interior architecture discipline and successfully integrate these dynamics into design projects.

Course Content:

The "Current Issues in Interior Architecture" course is a platform that offers students the opportunity to explore the latest developments and contemporary issues in the field of interior architecture. This course provides students with the opportunity to develop a deep understanding of topics such as current trends in the industry, technological advances and sustainability. Additionally, by evaluating the effects of architectural design in the social, cultural and economic context, it offers students a comprehensive perspective on how a project can be designed not only aesthetically, but also taking into account social and environmental impacts.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Evaluating Current Trends and Technological Advances
2) Concept of Design in Social, Cultural and Economic Context
3) Environmental and Sustainable Design Awareness
4) Practical Application Ability through Projects

Program Outcomes
1) The Interior Architecture graduate program aims to gain intellectual depth and awareness in the formal, conceptual, and theoretical expansions of space creation by problematizing the concept of space at the intersection of theory and practice. In this sense, the program aims to gain competence in the production of conceptual projects and academic articles in the context of space, spatiality, spatiotemporality, atmosphere, spatial atmospheric becoming, materiality, urban interior space, shape grammars, the relationality of interior architectural tectonics, and speculative futuristic space research.
2) Based on the competencies gained at the undergraduate level, the student has advanced knowledge and understanding that provides the necessary basis for original studies in the basic fields of architecture, planning and design.
3) The student possesses a critical awareness of the nature of knowledge, its sources, knowledge production, and the issues related to the examination of knowledge at the interfaces between the field of architecture/planning/design and other related areas.
4) In professional postgraduate studies, the student acquires the necessary cognitive and practical skills for professional competence.
5) The acquired knowledge, comprehension, and problem-solving skills are applied in unconventional settings and within broader interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary contexts related to the field.
6) They critically conduct academic research and engage in academic discourse for categorical conclusions.
7) They possess specialized problem-solving skills necessary for developing new knowledge and methods in the relevant research field and integrating knowledge from diverse areas.
8) They independently manage a study that requires expertise in their field.
9) They contribute to the professional knowledge and practice of teams working in academic or applied environments in their field and/or take on responsibilities for reviewing strategic achievements.
10) They possess learning skills that enable them to largely self-direct or independently pursue their education.
11) They systematically and openly share the findings and results obtained in a study, along with the underlying knowledge and rationale, with both expert and non-expert groups.
12) They systematically and critically conduct an academic research, engage in academic discourse critically, and present papers and publish in national and international settings.
13) They generate comprehensive projects related to their field: they produce comprehensive projects that demonstrate their capacity to make design/planning decisions at different scales [with an interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary approach] using the knowledge, comprehension, and skills they have acquired.
