| Overall Educational Objective | To learn how to bring architectural representation techniques into the computer realm | ||||
| Course Description | Mastering digital representation methods is becoming a crucial tool due to the increasing demand in architectural practices and academia. The course focuses on basic 3D modeling and digital representation techniques in architecture. For this purpose, Rhinoceros 5 is used as a 3D modeling tool and AutoCAD as 2d drafting tool to represent and express the potential of architectural designs - importing, export, modeling and rendering procedures as basic elements of digital representation. The course also focuses on drawing commands and interface for curves and surfaces modeling; rendering engines and techniques. Finally, in order to enhance and compose the rendered images we will use both Photoshop and Illustrator basic vector presentation techniques. The application of the techniques will be explicit within a digital premise, which include image manipulation, diagrams and modeling. Thus, the coursework will use a 3D modeling and graphic platforms to represent and express the potential of architectural designs. | ||||
| 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. Ders boyunca 2 boyutlu ve 3 boyutlu hem üretim hem de anlatım teknikleri dijital platformlar üzerinden gösterilmiştir. Autocad üzerinden teknik çizim, Rhinoceros üzerinden 3 boyutlu modelleme ve görselleştirme, Photoshop ve Illustrator programları üzerinden de görsel üretme ve işleme teknikleri ile öğrencilere dijital tekniklere çok yönlü bir giriş dersi olarak planlanmıştır. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) understand the powerful role of digital communication techniques for architectural representation; 2) represent the existing environment by diagrams, mappings, modeling, rendering and graphic presentation qualitatively and quantitatively; 3) express ideas by means of digital graphical methods; 4) produce the technical drawings; 5) use renderings and graphic visualization in the digital medium by means of hybrid representations. |

| Teaching Methods | In-class applications, Assignments and student presentations related with different programs and skills.The methodology unfolds the use of Digital Communication to a conceptual manipulation design should engage from the earliest stages of the design process. Through the use of technical drafting and modeling techniques, digital communication also studies rendering and post-processing phase of image and graphic presentation. Across an array of visual representations that include but are not limited to modeling, drafting rendering and graphic design the methods describe the conveyance of ideas and information in forms that can be read or looked upon. | |||||||||||||||
