Course Objective and Content
| Course Objectives: | The Graduation Project aims to reveal all the achievements of the final term undergraduate students in department of architecture in a holistic way through a project study. Graduation Project provides an understanding of the development of professional maturity levels through the students ability of forming a theoretical and critical perspective in order to produce original ideas and to embody these ideas with technical, aesthetic, cultural, historical, social, ethical knowledge and skills. |
| Course Content: | The student will carry out an architectural project independently but under the supervision of a jury. Graduation Project subject and schedule are announced in the first week of the semester. The process is carried out by a jury formed among faculty members. Depending on the number of students, one or more juries may be established. A faculty member is appointed as the Graduation Project Coordinator to ensure coordination between the juries. A total of four jury sessions are held during the semester, including a project meeting, two interim juries and a final jury. Apart from these jury sessions, it is necessary and obligatory for students to continue their work independently without assistance and guidance. |
Learning Outcomes
|
The students who have succeeded in this course;
