| Course Description |
The course begins with a general discussion on the culture of design in the last two centuries to place the discipline of interior design into a proper historical context. A discussion on the boundaries of design disciplines follows, with a strong emphasis on the complexities involved in defining design activity. It then follows with a consideration of the contemporary trends and issues that affect the design, organization and experience of interior spaces. Emergence of the profession of interior design is addressed, with close attention to its primary contexts, areas of concern and the distinction between interior design and decoration. The course, then, focuses on various philosophies of space, with theoretical and methodological extensions into such topics as spatial practices, sense of place, place attachment, psychology of space, use and perception of spaces, human space needs, organization of space, types of space. The problematic relationship between space, place and gender is scrutinized for two weeks. Finally the course focuses on color and light as two significant factors in the design and experience of interior spaces.

| Course Description in Turkish |
İç Mimarlık disiplinini tarihsel bir bağlama oturtmak amacıyla ders son iki yüz yıldaki tasarım kültürü üzerine genel bir bahisle başlar. Bunu, tasarım etkinliğini tanımlamadaki güçlüklerin altını çizen, tasarım disiplinlerinin sınırlarına ait bir tartışma izler. Ardından, iç mekan tasarımı, organizasyonu ve deneyimini etkileyen çağdaş meseleler ve trendlere odaklanılmaktadır. İç Mimarlık mesleğinin ortaya çıkış süreci, bu mesleğin icra edildiği bağlamlara, ilgi alanlarına ve dekorasyon ile arasındaki ayrıma odaklanarak ele alınmaktadır. Ders daha sonra mekan / uzam konusunda üretilmiş çeşitli felsefi yaklaşımlara odaklanır. Bu felsefi tartışmanın, kuramsal ve yöntemsel uzantıları şu konuları kapsamaktadır: mekânsal pratikler, mekan algısı, mekanla kurulan bağ, mekan psikolojisi, mekanın kullanımı, insanın mekânsal ihtiyaçları, mekan organizasyonu, mekan türleri. Mekan, yer ve toplumsal cinsiyet arasındaki ilişki sorunsalı iki hafta boyunca incelenir. Son olarak, ders iç mekanların tasarım ve deneyimlenmesinde çok önemli iki etken olan renk ve aydınlatma konularına odaklanmaktadır.
