Course Description

This course aims to reinforce the necessity of creating a strong conceptual foundation and reasonable explanation for the design decisions of the future architects; which can only be developed through stimulating readings, and a responsibility felt towards writing down these considerations and sharing them with the architectural community in specific and the public in general. Without a concentration on project explanations, the course tries to demonstrate variety in architectural discourse and the responsibilities of architects towards the city and society. The course will interrogate open-ended questions like What do architects read? What do architects write? or Why should architects write?

Course Description in Turkish

Bu ders, gelecekteki mimarların tasarım kararlarını güçlü kavramsal temeller ve akılcı açıklamalara dayandırmalarının gerekliliğinin altını çizer ve bunun ancak ufuk açıcı okumalar ve tasarım kararlarının açıklamalarının hem sözlü hem de yazılı olarak mimari gruplar ve toplum ile paylaşma sorumluluğunu hissetmek ile mümkün olabileceğini öğrencilere aktarmayı hedefler. Mimari yazımı proje açıklamalarına indirgemeyen ders mimari söylemin çeşitliliğini ve mimarların kent ve topluma karşı sorumluluklarını gözler önüne sunmaya çalışırken ‘mimarlar ne okur?’ ‘mimarlar ne yazar?’ ve ‘mimarlar neden yazmalıdır’ gibi sorulara yanıt arar.
