| Overall Educational Objective | To learn to understand architectural model making as a design tool through experimenting with different materials and techniques as well as a representation tool through searching for ways to express concrete ideas with the abstract language of models. | ||||
| Course Description | Models are the initial manifestation of architectural ideas into matter. ‘Our models — structural, sculptural, atmospheric, always different — aim to discover and show the physical presence of building and place. They help us to understand, to think and to dream. We make them to hold the promise of the object we are looking for.’ Peter Zumthor Building upon a theoretical basis, the Model Making course will concentrate on exploration of different materials and techniques through a variety of model making assignments which are to find a clear expression on a final model. Experimental approaches will be crucial to discover the potential architectural model making contains in its nature. | ||||
| Course Description in Turkish | Maket yapımı mimari fikirlerin ilk maddeye dönüştüğü yerdir. ‘Our models — structural, sculptural, atmospheric, always different — aim to discover and show the physical presence of building and place. They help us to understand, to think and to dream. We make them to hold the promise of the object we are looking for.’ Peter Zumthor Maket dersi teorik altyapı üzerine, farklı maket uygulamaları eşliğinde çeşitli malzeme ve yapım tekniklerinin keşfedilmesine odaklanacaktır. Deneysel yaklaşımlar maket yapımının doğası gereği barındırdığı potansiyellerin farkına varılmasında önde gelen kriter olacaktır. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) understand spatial concepts in a three dimensional manner; 2) comprehend generating forms through the use of physical models; 3) analyze abstract articulation of ideas through different model types; 4) choose suitable materials; 5) apply fitting manufacturing techniques for the type, aim and scale of the model intended. |

| Teaching Methods | Model Making is mainly a ‘laboratory’ course. The teaching method incorporates lectures that introduce different materials and model making techniques but is mainly based on application of these materials and manufacturing techniques in the workshop. Main learning outcome emerges from the individual production. Taking initiative and discovering new approaches motivates the participant to take part in active learning. | |||||||||||||||
