Course Objective

This course aims to teach the elements of the architectural space and their interactions with each other, how functional/spatial/mass organization is created, reaching to the relations its context, relation with place and city, and the main concept idea, through the analysis of examples. The main goal is to contribute to the student's ability to develop a way of looking at the context in the architectural design process, to establish creative ideas specific to the area, and to bring spatial elements together at the building scale with the gains from this course.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Understanding the concepts of space and spatial organization in different dimensions
2   Explaining the elements that constitute spatial organization
3   Analyzing spatial organization through examples within the integrity of plan/section/mass
4   Analyzing spatial organization at the level of the relationship between the building and the city and the place
5   Interpreting the spatial elements that constitute the building and the design idea/approachment
6   Expressing the analysing about spatial organization with different graphic techniques

Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

In the context of the course, different parts of the spatial pattern such as form, mass, structure, circulation, action, etc. are examined in the light of examples and applications from different periods and approaches on the building scale. It is structured within the framework of exercises aimed at the student to comprehend how the space is organized on the plan/section/mass planes with an approach that goes from part to whole. The course will be conducted with group work.
