| Overall Educational Objective | To learn the interventions in buildings which are inserted in historically or socially complex and multi-layered urban contexts. | |||||
| Course Description | This course aims to contribute to the improvement of students’ design skills to deal with multiple solutions related to different aspects of interior architecture such as form, scale, light, nature, color, structure, material, texture, detailing, fixtures, and furnishing. The design studio searches for the design solutions for interior design projects with complex programmatic relationships. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) think of functional, spatial, materialistic, psychological and social issues of interior architecture as a whole; 2) track the right paths to observe, research and analyze the functional problems, needs and spatial concerns; 3) propose design solutions that involves various aspects of interior architecture; 4) understand the interaction between conceptual design and spatial quality and the means of spatial quality; 5) appreciate the role of materials and detailing in interior architectural design; 6) manipulate presentation skills for individualistic approaches for both design and presentation. |

senera@mef.edu.tr - Students are expected to work both in groups and as individuals throughout the studio. Discovering through design and experimentation will the main strategy to learn. Observation, analysis, research making including criticized case studies are expected to be fulfilled by each student prior to any design proposals. Freehand sketching and creative ways of presenting ideas throughout the studio course, including model making, filming, photographing, as well as implementing ideas by digital tools will be expected. Case study visits to certain places, field trips and workshop trips which will be done together with the instructors. Students will be making research trips in their free time, also. Active participation in the studio is the key- factor for learning. One-to-one and group discussions will be held during the course. Everyone has to get prepared for every studio course day, to discuss his/her ideas through sketches, drawings and models. Perfection in presentation quality will be something to be favored. Drawing tools like drawing papers, sketching papers, sketchbooks, sketch pencils, coloring materials, pens and laptops with the required programs uploaded have to be provided by every student, every studio day.
