Course Objective

It is aimed to introduce the basic concepts and principals of design to develop three dimensinal abstract thinking for basic design, to gain basic skills in creating two and three dimensional spatial compositions.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to perceive the basic concepts and basic design principles of space.
2   To be able to discuss the concepts of space and basic design in different representation environments(verbal, visual and digital interactive environments)
3   To be able to adopt and use basic design principles to 2 and 3 dimensional design problems.
4   To establish relationships between geometry, material, structure and form in design solutions.
5   To present and discuss the design proposals developed in the process in different presentations mediums (verbal, visual, digital)

Week Subject Description
1 1.week: Meeting the students. Accompanying lecturers entering the class using the same method as the students. Introduction of Padlet and Mentimeter interface applications.
2 2.week:Making Izmir and Deü presentations, Introducing the Miro interface application. Introduction to "where are you" study. Tranferring the Turkey out Padlet panoroma architecture.
3 3.week: Gathering the data in "Where are you" study and preparing a poster on the Miro application jointly. Presentation of city posters at the end of the course.
4 4.week: Understanding of the drawing or visual language,which is the common language is more promenant in architecture than oral and written language. Experiencing that spaces depicted in written texts transform into different mental spaces by each individual.
5 5.week: Discussion of 0,1,2,3 dimensional design elements(point-line-plane-volume) with conceptual and applied studies on occupancy space,size, color and texture. Conducting conceptual discussions on pixelation , panoptican and personel privacy.
6 6.week: Studies on the transition from the 2nd dimension to the third dimension. Stopmotion/Flipbook presentation. Working on virtual topography. ability to create three dimensional composition with linear, surface and module elements.
7 7.week: Studies on the transition from the 2nd dimension to the third dimension. Origami. Folding the 2d surface. Experiencing the geometries created by the plane surfaces folded with the certain mathematical rules.
8 8.week: Human-body movement studies. Discovering the limits and the potential of movement between head and body.Expressing these through sketches, videos and GIFs.
9 9.week: Human-body movement studies. Exploration of the potential of plane surfaces to define volume and form moving structures.
10 10.week: Studies of establishing polyhedron structure in void. Polyhedron presentation. Discovering the potential of inner space of polyhedron structures.
11 11.week: Mental space studies. Expressing abstract feelings and thoghts based on a polyhedron frame. Creating a mental space wtih concepts such as hierarchy, rhythm and balance.
12 12.week: Mind-space-volume studies. Experiencing "Engraving" which is a way of creating a space with the principals of hieararchy, proportion and rhythm.
13 13.week: Mind-space-volume studies. Understanding the formal geometric identities of full-empty formations with the principals of hierarchy, balance and rhythm.
14 14.Drawing week
15 15. Final presentation
