Course Objective

to introduce the basic components of 'architectural space' (user', 'organization of space', 'scale', 'material', 'light', 'color', 'texture'); to enable the student to design a targeted interior effect using these, transfer it to his designs and use effective expression techniques

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to understand and define the basic components of architectural space ('user', 'space organization', 'scale', 'material', 'light', 'color', 'texture')
2   To be able to evaluate the effects of qualitative and quantitative differences of the basic components of architectural space
3   To be able to effectively create an architectural / spatial effect aimed in a design problem by using the basic components of architectural space
4   To be able to effectively present the architectural / spatial effect of the designed space using different communication techniques

Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods


The conceptual framework and knowledge on the components of architectural space are transferred through oral and graphic presentations prepared by the course instructor. Students prepare PRESENTATIONS by making use of this data and along with it, DESIGNS TASKS are assigned in order to analyse and interpret this conceptual knowledge.
