Dept. of Architecture. Other readings correspondent to weekly works will be published via Blackboard. | ||||||||||||
| Teaching Methods | After the introduction and general discussions on the generation of the detail and the ways to understand the architecture through details in four weeks, by the investigation of the chosen projects students are expected to search the relation between the design idea and the designed / constructed details and make a critical interpretation on this relationship every week for ten weeks. At the end of the semester each student is expected to submit a self-chosen project and make the same research and interpretation with the same methodology made through the semester. | ||||||||||||
