Course Objectives: | The course aims to develop a critical view of information and computational technologies from a historical and social perspective. The course also aims to introduce the necessary concepts to understand the developments in information technology and computing. It aims to develop a critical understanding of hybrid practices and creative practices that expand in relation to the aforementioned concepts. In general and in the context of architecture; It is aimed to make epistemological and social analyzes of technology on the axis of data, body, intelligence, network, community and reality. |
Course Content: | The course focuses on information and computational technologies as a fundamental concept in contemporary architecture and other design fields. The course will examine theories and practices that respond to the connected transformations in our concepts of the computer revolution, cybernetics, artificial intelligence and design, creativity, nature, body, place and reality. |
The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Developing a critical view of technology and examining the technology-society relationship 2) Developing an understanding of current concepts in the field of information technology and computing 3) Develop a critical understanding of practice and creative practices related to cybernetics, artificial intelligence and design, creativity, nature, body, place and reality |
