| Overall Educational Objective | To explore the city – Istanbul – through different visual, auditory and tactile representation techniques and experiment with analogue/digital, existing and new representation techniques. | |||||
| Course Description | This course focuses on various representation techniques in architecture in order to explore, understand, imagine and decipher the city – Istanbul – and takes representation as a conception, production and communication tool in architecture by bringing together the technical and free hand drawing. Representation tools for architecture and other disciplines such as; sketch, drawing, collage, painting, photography, film, animation, mapping, etc. will be explored so as to discuss the visual representation of the seen, perceived and experienced in architecture and social and intellectual dimension of urban and architectural space in architectural communication. | |||||
| Course Description in Turkish | Bu ders, kenti – İstanbul’u – keşfetmek, anlamak, hayal etmek ve yorumlamak için mimarlıkta çeşitli temsil tekniklerine odaklanmaktadır ve serbest ve teknik çizimin birlikteliğiyle mimarlıkta temsili anlama, üretme ve anlaşma aracı olarak ele almaktadır. Mimarlıkta görünenin, algılananın ve deneyimlenenin görsel temsili ve mimari iletişimde kentsel ve mimari mekanın sosyal ve düşünsel boyutunu tartışabilmek amacıyla mimarlığın ve diğer disiplinlerin temsil araçları; eskiz, çizim, kolaj, boyama, fotoğraf, film, canlandırma, haritalama, vb. keşfedilecektir. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) 1. conceptualize and interpret a place, a space, or a system; 2) 2. understand, record and represent through experiential techniques; 3) 3. convert the bodily experience of the city – Istanbul – into an architectural representation; 4) 4. rethink and rediscover the city – Istanbul – through architectural representation; 5) 5. carry out literature research and critically evaluate analogue and digital architectural representation techniques; 6) 6. understand and research the potentials of producing the public space through working collaboratively in the public space. |
