| Overall Educational Objective | To learn to communicate visually and to use operative actions as tools for designing and communicating a space. | ||||
| Course Description | The act of visual communication is an extremely powerful process in terms of architectural design. By following an array of layers which include sketching and modeling techniques, spatial relations, effects, environmental strategies and social strategies, form set of exercises that trigger the notion of design awareness. Trying to arrive to design awareness is a sort of analysis, which one immediately makes, as the analysis focuses and produces both models and diagrams and sketches of geometries, materials, colors, circulation… These representations are not only quantifications but also qualifications of existing components of space. Simultaneously these operational actions abstract the notion of spatial formation to its most essential terms, allowing a clear and expressive approach in the generation, and illustration of abstract spatial intentions, demonstrating increased critical thinking skills. | ||||
| Course Description in Turkish | Görsel iletişim çalışmaları mimari tasarım için güçlü bir süreçtir. İçerisinde eskiz yapma ve maket teknikleri, mekansal ilişkiler, etkiler, çevresel ve sosyal stratejiler de olmak üzere kurgulanan bir katmanlar seçkisi, tasarım konusunda farkındalık yaratacak bir takım çalışmalar oluşturmaktadır. Tasarım farkındalığında erişilmeye çalışılan nokta, kişinin hızlıca üretebileceği bir tür analiz biçimidir. Bu analiz, geometrilerin, malzemelerin, renklerin, hareketin; modelleri, diagramları, eskizleri vs. üzerine odaklanır ve bunları üretir. Bu temsiller, mekanın bileşenlerinin sadece ölçülebilir özellikleri üzerine değil aynı zamanda kalitesi üzerinedir. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) understand the powerful role of visual communication techniques for architectural representation; 2) represent qualities and quantitites of the existing environment by freehand sketches, diagrams, mappings; 3) express ideas by means of freehand graphical methods; 4) read technical drawings and represent the design by technical drawings; . 5) use the graphics to produce publication in digital medium by means of hybrid representations. |
