Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

Architectural Project II studio aims to introduce the necessary knowledge and skills to think in abstract terms, together with the basic architectural design concepts and principles, to deal with architectural design in 2 and 3 dimensions, to get acquainted with the basic architectural elements (carrier system, wall, flooring, etc.). It aims to establish the body-space relationship by summarizing the scale, atmosphere and tectonic relations. In addition, it aims to gain the ability to observe and critical thinking, while students are expected to be able to use the necessary visual and verbal expression tools and methods.

Course Content:

In this context, the applications to be made within the scope of the course is designed to facilitate;
● To convey the architectural design culture and the basic and current concepts that make up this culture through the practice and theoretical narratives.
● To make the student comprehend the thinking-representation relationship, to associate the design idea indirectly/directly with different media and techniques.
● To introduce the student to the basic architectural terminology
● Developing an understanding of spatial perception by considering the scale, atmosphere and tectonic relations of the student.
The course will be held with productions such as in-class drawing and model applications, homework, theoretical lectures, outdoor trips, portfolio and blog productions.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Developing the vocabulary of basic design elements (line, plane, volume,)
2) Establishing and making sense of the relationships between 2 and 3-dimensional objects and their representations. Developing awareness of the relationship between representation and design, and being able to produce using different media as a thinking tool (Expressing the architectural design idea development and architectural design process with appropriate representation methods (analogue and digital expression methods)
3) Understanding the spatial principles based on sensation and considering their spatial counterparts (hierarchy, symmetry, rhythm, repetition, transformation, space, light, movement,..)
4) Ability to address body, scale, proportion, experience, perception, atmosphere, senses, time, context, light, structure, material, tectonic, spatial relationships
5) Comprehension of living-human, natural-human, natural-man-made relations and discussing them concerning current issues
6) Ability to create a narrative and its spatial counterpart in a given situation in a natural context.
7) Ability to collect and use data on living, human, space and environment
8) Ability to use the architectural terminology correctly, getting acquainted with the design and architectural culture
9) Ability to comprehend the theories and methods describing the relationship between human and living behaviour and the natural/built environment and to make them a part of the architectural design process for different needs, values, norms, social and spatial patterns
