Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:	The main aim of the course is to analyze the differences that generative formatting approaches offer to the design process and their effect on the changeability of the design process.
Course Content:	Architecture; Beyond its social, economic and technological dimensions, it basically carries out the act of designing space and shaping objects. How architects begin the shaping process or what methods they use is a major research topic. The course covers generative formatting approaches developed for architectural formatting.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) To have theoretical knowledge about the act of designing space and shaping objects
2) Knowledge of architectural productive systems
