PROJECT I COURSE DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE

The Project I course provides to student ability to read, write, speak and listen effectively, ability to gather, assess, record, apply and comparatively evaluate relevant information within coursework and design processes. The critical thinking-conceptualizing-interpreting- problem definition and problem solving are the main stages of the studio.

The main objective of the course is enabling students to perceive, investigate, interpret, and analyze human-space-object (product)-environment relationships in the context of Nature & Culture, to gain creative skills on defining/solving problems as well as to articulate architectural proposals to gain the expertise in using the fundamental terminology of profession. Students can develop design alternatives in relation with the natural, cultural and conceptual context and by taking into consideration the structural, material, construction parameters related to the design’s scale through this course.

COURSE CONTENT

Course includes 5 projects. The assessment of each project is executed separately. A more comprehensive description and objectives of each project can be found in the weekly schedule below. The projects are expected to touch to the complementary themes (Being, body (anthropometry, capacities and limitations), space / Human, object, parameters of design/ Structure, material, parameters/ Human, culture, spatial experience, physiological, sociological and bodily experiences). The students will gain skills in developing design alternatives in relation with the natural, cultural and conceptual context and by taking into consideration the structural, material, construction parameters related to the design's scale. This module provides the students with necessary skills to be able to present their research and design works by verbal, written and visual techniques.

OTHER ACTIVITIES

The participation to other activities such as film screenings, seminars and readings are mandatory.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES

Students, who passed the course satisfactorily, increase their: 1. Design skills 2. Critical thinking skills 3. Research and analytical problem solving skills on a given planning /

design problem 4. Graphical representation and form generating skills learned in visual

communication courses 5. Team-work skills 6. Use of precedents

Weekly program might be rescheduled by instructors according to students’ progress. Section CRN will be used for Zoom meetings when there is a lecture, otherwise Tutor CRN will be used.

ONLINE STUDIO PROCESS & SUBMISSIONS

STUDIO HOURS It is important that students attend online studio hours and actively participate in all the activities/discussions carried out/held during the course hours. DISCUSSION The works are commonly discussed in order to develop proposals of the students. Thus, the students are expected to develop a critical thinking perspective. SKETCHBOOK The students are expected to keep a written/visual/diagrammatic

log of their design process in a sketchbook; where they keep their sketches, notes and ideas regarding their projects. These sketchbooks will be included in the assessment process. The students are expected to use various techniques (drawings, diagrams, collages, writing etc.) in representing his/her ideas. EXHIBITION Each work is exhibited at the end of the process in our blog. JURY ASSESSMENT The students are expected to express their works in front of a jury in the final project. Juries compose of course instructors and invited jury members.
