Produces comprehensive projects in the relevant field.
Makes decision about designing and planning in different scales using the knowledge gained.

Mode of Delivery : Face-to-Face

Prerequisites and Co-Prerequisites : None

Recommended Optional Programme Components : None

Aim(s) of Course : The course is aimed at providing students a platform on which they can deal with the architecture project topic that they have chosen in the course “MM-531 Advanced Architecture Project 1” using the data in the portfolio prepared for the same course. Students are also required to present a model of the project with scale factors of 1/500, 1/200, 1/50, 1/5, 1/2 and 1/1. The primary aim is to develop the designing skills gained during undergraduate courses.

Course Contents : Drawing and detailing the architectural project with appropriate scale factors and submitting it with its model.

Language of Instruction : Turkish

Work Place : Studio
