Overall Educational Objective To learn to understand the intervention to historical interior environment located in a historically and/or socially layered urbanized context.
Course Description The aim of the course is to introduce the students to the intervention to historical interior environment located in a historically and/or socially layered urbanized context. During the semester, through various assignments, seminars, case studies and the theoretical background given by the instructors, the students will develop design strategies that respond to a brief which includes a complex, hybrid program. The studio will include an exploration of solutions to environmental, interior and architectural problems based on space analysis and planning. Identification of user needs as well as the coordination of furnishings, finishes, structural materials will be emphasized. INT 302 studio covers the design and presentation of a complex, large scale interior design project in relation to more confined subspaces and objects. Emphasis is placed on the interior and exterior organizations and design components; integration of building systems, and social, cultural, regulatory and environmental issues in design as well as the clear integration of the various conceptual and functional concerns including material and furniture choice, detailing of the technical requirements, lighting design and accessibility.
Course Description in Turkish Bu ders, öğrencilere tarihsel ve sosyolojik olarak katmanlı yapıdaki kentsel bağlamda konumlanan iç mekanları tanıtmayı amaçlar. Dönem boyunca çeşitli ödevler, seminerler, teorik bilgiler ile öğrenciler kompleks, hibrit programlar içeren tasarım stratejileri geliştireceklerdir. Stüdyo mekan analizleri ve planlamalarıyla çevresel, iç mimari ve mimari problemlere çözümlerin araştırılmasını içermektedir. Kullanıcı ihtiyaçlarının tanımlanması ile birlikte mobilya ve malzeme seçimleri/üretimleri tartışılacaktır. INT 302 stüdyosu, ikincil mekanlar ve donatı elemanları ile birlikte karmaşık, büyük ölçekli bir iç tasarım projesinin tasarımını ve sunumunu kapsar. Bütüncül bir iç ve dış mekân kurgusunun yanı sıra malzeme ve mobilya seçimi, teknik gereksinimlerin detaylandırılması, aydınlatma tasarımı, erişilebilirlik gibi konulara vurgu yapılmaktadır.

Office: Aslı Şener 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.
