Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: This course aims to introduce a theoretical discussion ground for first-year interior architecture students as a first step for their education and to raise awareness about the intellectual and critical aspects of design education.
Course Content: It is a course in which interior architecture students step into architecture and design theory. In addition to the discussions on the meaning and history of design concepts, this course will introduce the basics of the discipline of interior architecture. Throughout the semester, the concepts of perception, representation, space and body will be examined and discussed through the products and events of architecture, design and art. Additionally, the course aims to gain comprehensiveness in the practice of reading, understanding, interpreting and generating ideas about the basic concepts of modern architecture and the ability to express these ideas in writing.
