Course Objective

To analyze the architectural environment in relation to current developments and context in a multifaceted way (conceptual, urban, cultural, social, economic and historical aspects): to analyze a research-based design project at the end of the creative thinking process.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1	1..Analyze the given design problems and context in a multifaceted (conceptual, urban, cultural, social, economic and historical) perspective.
2	2. Gain awareness of researching the architectural design problem in a versatile way and to associate it with current developments.
3	3. Identify the requirements and spatial equivalents of a medium complex architectural program. To be able to associate different building systems around a main idea and to design them in an integrated manner.
4	4. Analyze an architectural design project based on research at the end of the creative thinking process.
5	5. Express the architectural design project and process with different representation media and techniques (visually, in writing and verbally).

Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

The learning process develops through project / problem-based learning.Students develop answers to the spatial problems / questions directed to them and progress with criticism.The learning process of the student is observed and recorded with the criticisms given during the course, midretm jury (midterm submission) and final jury (final submission).

Further Notes About Assessment Methods

Explanations on Assessment Methods:
1. Intermediate Jury: It is one of the important stages of the creative thinking and design process and will be graded. (LO3, LO5).
2. Research Homework / Presentation: Researching the theoretical and applied information and presenting it through different representation media and techniques is one of the important stages of the process and will be graded. (LO1, LO2, LO3).
3.Class Participation: The process of participating in the lesson is based on (i) the state of active participation, (ii) the quality of the effort and time spent by the student in the process, (iii) the ability to produce architectural solutions in a certain consistency within the framework of the criticisms given to their ideas, and (iv) a positive process in the process. It will depend on its contribution to the creation of the learning environment. (LO1, LO2, LO 3, LO4, LO5).
4. Final Jury: It is the last stage of the process of handling the architectural design problem in a versatile way and developing an architectural design project based on research. Ability to interpret versatile design and context analysis; awareness of researching the architectural design problem in a versatile way; Developing a medium complexity architectural program requirement and spatial responses within the framework of a main idea with original and comprehensive solutions; Providing the conceptual depth, clarity and continuity of the main idea throughout the process; The project will be evaluated with the criteria to express the project process in visual, written and verbal environments. (LO1, LO2, LO3, LO 4, LO5).

Assessment Criteria

Midterm Exam (Midterm Jury) 10% (LO3, LO5)
