Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

Aims graduate students to:
1. Approach architecture as an intellectual and critical field,
2. Produce architectural thought together with other disciplinary thoughts,
3. Develop the ability to discuss current design problems and propose creative solutions,
4. Evaluate new technical/technological opportunities in terms of architecture,
5. Develop new approaches to transform new mathematical thinking into practice in architecture,
6. Generate global and decolonial architectural thought,
7. Develop ideas on designing and producing architecture in the context of the contemporary environment of Turkey.

Course Content:

The course focuses on questioning the sources of architectural thought. Opens architectural studies to discussion as an interdisciplinary field. For this purpose, the course is shaped by questions around the place of architecture between science and art and its relationship with social sciences, literature and cultural studies.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) To be able to view architecture other than a construction practice, mainly as an intellectual and critical practice
2) To be able to comprehend and produce architectural thought within a trans-disciplinary framework
3) To be able to view and produce architecture as an academic practice
4) To be able to develop social cooperation and participation practices in architecture
5) To gain skills in creative architectural representation
