Aim(s) of Course : Three-dimensional description of the product design stage; while increasing the richness of presentation via different materials, methods and techniques, construction of new designs.

Course Contents : In an architectural product, after explaining about how to make sketch and different techniques for it, different methods and techniques are tried on a certain architectural model. In the process of making model; project anlysis, choosing stuffs, land analysis and land sketch, decorating place, stairs, roofs, windows etc. are to be explained at this architectural product. With the help of various tools and devices,students work in groups or on their own.
