| Overall Educational Objective |
To learn the general concepts of interior design, to understand how the theory of interior design developed throughout the course of history visually and theoretically in relation with the social, cultural, technological changes in the society.
|
| Course Description |
The course begins with a general description on the elements of interior design, making a brief analysis on how these basic elements existed and developed through the course of history, how cultural and contextual background affect design characteristics. Then the idea of space is introduced, in relation with its philosophical, dimentional and psychological relations. Discussions on different theories of space both in architectural theory and philosophy are followed by looking at different components of space, discussing how these developed and changed through both architectural history and in the means of interior design. The course follows with a more detailed look on the main elements of design; shape, form, texture and pattern, making comparisons on different periods in history, to create an understanding of evolution in time and context. One of the most important aspects of design, light is discussed, followed by the aspect of color, with historical references. The course then focuses on ornament and furniture, two significant subjects in interior design, again with references to history. Finally, the course ends with general understanding of principles in interior design, how these principles are included in the discipline of design, with historical and contemporary examples.

| Course Description in Turkish |
Ders iç mimarlık kuramını, ana tasarım öğeleri ve prensiplerini tarih içindeki değişim ve gelişimleriyle, kültürel ve bağlamsal olarak karşılaştırmalı bir şekilde ele almak üzere kurgulanmıştır. Öncelikle iç mimari tasarımın da temelini oluşturan ana tasarım öğelerinin genel tarifleri ve tüm mimarlık ve iç mimarlık tarihi içindeki var oluşları, değişimlerini tarif ederek başlar. İç mimarlığın en önemli öğesi olarak mekan kavramı, mekan kuramının tarihsel gelişimi tartışılır, mekanın bileşenleri tek tek farklı dönemlerden örneklerle ele alınır. Ders iç mekanı oluşturan biçim, form, doku, örüntü gibi tasarım elemanlarına daha detaylı bir bakış ile devam eder. Yine çok önemli iç mimari tasarım bileşenleri olan ışık ve renk konuları, tarihsel referanslarla, anlamsal ve sembolik değerler, kullanım farklılıkları, dönemsel karakteristik özellikler üzerinden ele alınır. Mimarlık ve iç mimarlıkta bezeme konusu, tüm dönemler içinde farklı düzenler, değişen düşünce ve ideolojilerle, gelişen teknolojilerle değişimi, tarihsel devamlılık içinde tartışılır, bu konuyu yine iç mimari disiplininin önemli parçası olan mobilyanın tarihsel gelişimi konusu takip eder. Sonrasında genel tasarım prensiplerinin iç mimari tasarıma yansımalarına odaklanıp, tüm zamanlarda yapılmış örnekler üzerinden karşılaştırmalı olarak bu prensipler tartışılır.
