Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

It is a course in which the concept of dwelling is evaluated together with sociological, economic, historical and geographical factors. Presentations and discussions will be conducted under various conceptual titles (housing / home / domesticity / nomadism / property etc.) regarding the dwelling phenomenon. Through the discussion process, it is aimed to go beyond the doctrine of dwelling which is reduced to the so called “housing idea” of the physical architectural space. Additionally, deconstructing the stereotypes about housing, bringing different housing practices to the agenda and awareness about critical views on the architectural discipline's conceptualization of housing is encouraged.

Course Content:

A critical reading and debate course through selected texts on dwelling practices. A text, project or concept as a preparatory will be shared with students before the lesson in order to make a pre-research work. In addition, assignments in text or visual format regarding the content of the course will be requested from time to time.
