Expected Prior Knowledge 4 semesters of design studio
Registration Restrictions Only Undergraduate Students
Overall Educational Objective To learn to understand the structural shell detail and material knowledge for production.
Course Description The course will be carried out by research - discussion - practice. In the first weeks, students will be expected to understand & analyze the structure connection details of a project which is currently made, by working with diagrams, simple combination models / 3D digital models. In the following weeks, they will work on the system details of their studio projects and try to analyze their projects structurally.

Course Learning Outcomes and Competences

Upon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:
1) understand the advanced structural junction details;
2) create detail solutions;
3) design system detail alternatives for their own projects;
4) apprehend materials & material connection details.

Students are expected to work both in groups or as individuals throughout the studio. Observation, analysis, research making including criticized case studies are expected to be fulfilled by each student prior to any design proposals. Creative ways of presenting ideas throughout the course, including digital model making, sketching as well as implementing ideas by digital tools will be expected. One-to-one and group discussions will be held during the course. Drawing tools like sketching papers, sketch pencils, coloring materials, pens and laptops with the required programs (Rhino, Sketch up, Autocad) uploaded have to be provided by every student, every course day. 80% attendance are compulsory for a successful outcome.
