Overall Educational Objective To learn the different production methods of materials, the design concepts of industrial heritage area, project program and design concept based on understanding of various needs of people, production and a commercial activity, to present design ideas and project in both technical and conceptual precision.
Course Description This studio course concentrates on a design proposal for an industrial heritage area, on which students are expected to develop ideas with a holistic approach. The graduation project is expected to focus on the preservation and the creation of a new design which, although separate, confront each other in a state of permanent interaction. (Some keywords: urban-interiors, adaptive re-use) Students will take responsibility to pursue the design process from design program to details. They will come up with a master-plan idea, design details and select materials in line with the design concept and program they developed. The overall goal of this semester’s design studio is to explore production as an act across the trajectories of three ways of making as highlighted by Carpo (2011): hands-making, mechanical making and digital making. For this, students are expected to select a theme / a material and analyze its diverse techniques of making. Based on their research, they should design a space that brings production to the foreground by making it accessible for the city inhabitants. The project location is the historical Bomonti Factory, which is in Izmir, Turkey.
Course Description in Turkish Bu proje stüdyosu öğrencilerin bütüncül bir anlayışla geliştirecekleri endüstri mirası alanı ve alanda yer alan endüstri mirası binaları için yeni fonskiyon tasarımlarına odaklanacaktır. Öğrenciler proje programından başlıyarak detayların geliştirilmesine kadar tasarım sürecinin sorumluluğunu alacaklardır. Proje içinde detayların tasarımı ve malzeme seçimleri tasarım konsepti ve proje programı doğrultusunda geliştirilecektir. Tasarım stüdyosunun temel konusu, bir eylem olarak üretimi farklı ölçeklerde irdeleyip, Carpo (2011)’nun da tasarım kuramında dile getirdiği gibi bir malzemenin üç farklı yapım yolunu keşfetmektir: el yapımı, mekanik yapım ve dijital yapım. Bunun için ögrencilerin bir tema / malzeme seçmeleri ve çeşitli yapım tekniklerini analiz etmeleri beklenmektedir. Öğrencilerin bu araştırmalar ışığında, üretimi ön plana çıkaran ve şehir sakinleri için erişilebilir hale getiren bir alan tasarlamaları beklenmektedir. Projenin yeri İzmir'de bulunan tarihi Bomonti Fabrikasıdır.
