Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:	Understanding the interdisciplinary relationality of architecture and interpreting it with visual diagrams, holistic design experiments, and design practices in the context of readings, discussions that strengthen the relationship between theory and practice.
Course Content:	The course contributes to the incorporation of contemporary design ideas in practice and professional practice; it trains an architect who thinks multi-dimensionally, questions and has a different perspective of architecture and life.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Translation of urban readings into living space design produced by local people and environmentally conscious researchers
2) Investigation of the spatial equivalents of the concepts of commons and sustainability in the proposed new living space with permaculture design

Course Flow Plan

Week	Subject	Related Preparation
1)	Introduction of architectural project subject and area, introductory lesson about the course of the lesson: how to design from a supradisciplinary point of view? Relating design thinking with place and program: Heidegger readings Why Heidegger? Explanation of the theoretical framework
2)	Practices of reading / understanding and interpreting place through Heidegger concepts and arguments in Bedrettin neighborhood Collage, montage and critical thinking practices video 1 eco-system: curriculum and comments on the concepts of holism and connectivity
3)	What is permaculture? Brainstorm on possible habitat design proposals through the concept of permaculture Theoretical narrative on the eco-system The human-nature interrelation system: connectivity and a holistic perspective
4)	Discussion on diagrammatic interpretations of Heidegger readings Visualization studies of spatial experience theoretical narrative on the concepts of space - place - spatiality video 2 view and comments
5)	Visualizing the concepts of commons and sustainability in Bedrettin District, spatial equivalents of sociocultural factors (storyboard, transcripts) video3 review “Bernard Tschumi: Conceptualizing Content” comments
6)	Permaculture design project proposal in Bedrettin neighborhood Expression of spatial and vital fiction with layout plan and sections Thoughts shaping space: both conceptual and tectonic issues
7)	Discussion of tectonic issues through examples: 1/50 section model Examination of the spatial equivalents of tectonic issues on a 1/50 section model
8)	1/500 model of the chosen place and its immediate surroundings: conceptual suggestions on both digital and physical models
9)	Design proposals in Bedrettin neighborhood, discussing new living spaces and spatial setup that reflects the patterns of life. "storyboard" design for the story of life / life's narrative
10)	1/500 plans, sections, volumetric models Ground floor plans and sections showing indoor-outdoor transitions / integrity 1/200
11)	1/200 plans, sections 1/200 section model Interior organization 1/100 sections, reflections of the life on the interior spatial organization
12)	1/200 plans, sections, views: the new living space, the incarnation of permaculture and Heidegger concepts Project development over the critiques Exemplary projects / discussions on why exhibited, award-winning projects stand out
13)	1/100 partial plans and sections, spatial organization critiques 1/100 modeling sectional perspectives
14)	Project submission and jury evaluation Revision in line with the recommendations of the jury
