Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: The objective of this course is to enhance interior architecture students' technical knowledge and design skills in architectural detail design. It aims to equip students with the ability to understand the detailing phases of a design project, establish harmonious and functional connections between building elements, make informed material choices, and integrate sustainable approaches into detail design. The course supports students in improving their professional competencies and developing problem-solving skills for technical challenges they may encounter during the implementation phase.
Course Content: This course provides interior architecture students with a theoretical and practical foundation in architectural detail design. The curriculum includes an in-depth examination of building elements, the impact of material properties on design decisions, and the relationship between functionality and aesthetics. Students will develop creative and technical detail solutions while considering the physical and structural requirements of interior spaces. The course also emphasizes detail drawing techniques at various scales, connection details, and sustainable design principles.
