Course Objectives Elaborates and studies the design of basic structural objects by considering the development and execution of aesthetical, visual, cultural, structural and functional details, as well as interior and environmental factors. Special focus is given to small scale spatial and environmental organization.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • will be able to use knowledge regarding user-centered design in small-scale interiors.
  • will be able to format a scenario and user profile based on a detailed life style and a consistent design idea.
  • will be able to demonstrate their ideas in the necessary representation techniques of the field, such as model making, board preparation, portfolio design.
  • will be able to define, field related competencies such as, detail drawing, preparing material boards, presentation files, knowledge of the construction of mezzanine floors and staircases.
  • will be able to carry out a design idea through all stages of an interior architecture project.
Course Description The course is based on lectures, Homework, demonstrations, discussions and Homework, which try to elaborate within a framework of critical thinking, elements of design and the awareness of basic concepts, factors, functions, materials and design methods for multi-scaled three-dimensional projects. Lectures, demonstrations, and studio exercises explore the basics of 3D designing from color, form and shape to the process of design.
