ECTS : 10

Name of Lecturer(s) :

Learning Outcomes of the Course : Solves Mass-Form Problems by processing Primary Geometric Shapes
Edits steps of transition from Volume to Space
Develops Concept Models about Space
Develops Analytical View on Context of Action-Method-Product to Spatial Problems
Generates Functional Editing of Space-User Relations

Aim(s) of Course : To teach the language of design by developing students´ three-dimensional thinking and ability to express. To be able use this language to address superficial-volumetric and spatial problems by designing through "observational, analytical and functional" approaches.

Course Contents : Processing Prime Forms "Additions and discharges." "Fragmentation" of prime forms. "Integration" of prime forms Transformation: Function-Shape-Material. SPATIAL DESIGN: Creating Elements: Point-Linear-Surface-Volumetric Surfaces "markup": I-L-T-U surfaces. Horizontal and vertical components. "Organizing Principles in Inner Space Creation : Axis-Symmetry-Hierarchy-Rhythm-back-transformation, Inner Space" Attributes ": Form-Proportioning-Scale-Texture-Light.

Language of Instruction : Turkish
