Brand management is the application of marketing techniques to a specific product, product line, or brand. It seeks to increase the product's perceived value to the customer and thereby increase brand franchise and brand equity. Marketers see a brand as an implied promise that the level of quality people have come to expect from a brand will continue with present and future purchases of the same product. This may increase sales by making a comparison with competing products more favorable. It may also enable the manufacturer to charge more for the product. The value of the brand is determined by the amount of profit it generates for the manufacturer. This results from a combination of increased sales and increased price. Today, the entire marketing issue is based on managing brands successfully. This course will concentrate on issues such as different branding strategies, brand rationalization, brand identity system, brand personality, identity implementation, brand strategies over time, managing brand systems, leveraging the brands, measuring brand equity and organizing for brand building. The lectures will be supported by intensive case analysis.

Turkey’s modernization process starts with Tanzimat. The Tanzimat was declared to make what had been foreign notions to the Ottoman Empire until that time effective.öAs a social phenomenon, sports were influenced by the modernization process in question. Modern physical education was introduced to the Ottoman Empire through military schools. Physical education and physical training were added to the curriculum of military schools in the 1860s. The general education decree passed in 1869 made physical education an obligatory part of the curriculum for all high schools. Its spread especially accelerated in the 1870s. A number of civilian schools began to add gymnastics into their curriculums in the 1870s. In the Meşrutiyet period, sports clubs began to emerge, a process led by soccer clubs. They were followed by the creation of Association of Turkish Training Leagues, Turkish Sports Agency, and Department of Physical Training. In the 1920s, two major targets were planned for sports. One of them was to start a movement to spread sports across the country, and the other was to provide diversity in sports categories.

The history of the ancient and modern Olympic Games and their reciprocation with the societies and economies of the ancient and modern worlds will be studied in this course. From the 8th century B.C., when they began as a religious - athletic festival among the Greek city states until their end in the 4th century A.D., the Olympic games became the most important athletic event among a number of others in the Greek world, such as the Isthmian, Nemean, and Pythian Games. They were so important to the culture of ancient Greece that Greek chronology was thought by Olympic Games until the Christian era and local and regional Olympiads were organized in such places as Ephesus and Antioch in Roman times.. The course will look at how the games developed in Hellenic, Hellenistic and Roman eras. The course will also study the extraordinary growth of the modern international Olympic Games. From the turn of the last century the Olympic Games have captured the imagination of increasing number of people throughout the world as a result of the growth of the mass media in the 20th century. In the first International Olympics of Athens in 1896, 241 athletes from 14 nations competed, while at the 2016 games in Rio 10,500 athletes from 206 countries were competed. Besides the audience and participants, the Olympic Games have grown in the variety of competitions to include many sports and events such as basketball, baseball, judo, taekwondo, cycling, waterpolo, gymnastics, and beach volleyball. The 1896 Olympics had 45 separate events; the 2016 Olympics had 28 sports branch , 41 diciplines and 306 events.

This course aims to help students understand the world through abstraction and conceptualization of their surroundings: shapes, forms, figures, colors, textures, materials, scales, space(s) and the like, and to use this understanding to produce organizations: designs as compilations, compositions, arrangements and re-arrangements. A series of assignments are intended to develop the skills of students in simultaneous efforts of analysis (reading/decoding) and development (writing/encoding) of relationships. While requirements and restrictions help them concentrate on specific aspects of design thinking, hands-and-minds-on experimentation within the 2-D or 3-D design space expand the possibilities. The product and the process are equally valued in the design studio. The process is a semi-individual one which is supported via critical discussions during the studio sessions. The students develop skills in the communication and evaluation of design ideas while taking the first steps in critical design thinking. The process as well as the product is achieved via logging, sketching, taking notes and photographing.

Basic Design II is the second semester design studio during which students advance the concepts they become familiar with in Basic Design I. The discoveries related to compositions, compilations, arrangements and re-arrangements from the first semester studio are explored with greater concentration on the two basic components of the design process: human and spatial. Weekly and monthly assignments motivate students to explore space(s) as analytically organized sequences, hubs, clusters and containers, while the human component is examined as the perceiver, the contained, the acquiescent and/or the objector of that very space. Students investigate the concepts of form, light and material as space makers. Three-dimensional physical model-making helps students understand the role of surfaces, solids and voids in making spaces. The material properties of the medium used in model making expand the ideas related to connections and detailing in construction. The computational technologies become an inherent part of the studio, supporting if not driving the studies.

The first year summer practice is composed of three stages: The first step comprises training to introduce CAD technologies in order for the students to acquire skills in recent design and manufacturing software/hardware technology. In the second stage, students should attend a workshop/summer school or work for a civil society organization of their choice for at least 10 days. At the end of both stages, students should submit certificates of completion acquired from the corresponding institutions. In the third stage, students should attend an architectural excursion or work in an archaeological excavation of their choice for at least 5 days.

Architectural projects of low to mid-level complexity are studied in this course. In addition to the concepts of body and space, which are dealt with during first semester, the issues of context, physical environment and tectonics are discussed.

The second year summer practice is composed of three stages. The first step comprises trainings to introduce technologies in order for the students to acquire skills in recent design software/hardware technology.In the second step, students will be working at construction sites of their choice for at least 20 workdays to follow up the design-to-construction procedures in order to acquire experience in construction procedures and recent construction management applications. Finally, in the third stage, students will attend an architectural excursion or work in an archaeological excavation of their own choice for at least 5 days.

In this course architectural design is studied as an urban intervention. Students develop a project for a public building in a central complex urban setting through a study of the project brief, particular built environment, urban conditions, as well as relevant precedents.

In the third year studio, architectural design is studied as an urban intervention. While the first semester focuses on a public building project set in a complex central urban context, the second-semester studio tackles with the larger urban fabric. Students carry out extensive analyses in order to develop an understanding of the physical conditions of the site and the urban forces that operate on it. Students then form individual positions based on their observations and the collective analyses of both the site and the various types of urban conditions. The final outcomes of the studio are the collective analyses and individual proposals for an ‘urban fabric’. The students develop a mixed-use program including public facilities. They are expected to enhance “public facilities” component of the given mixed-use architectural program in order to achieve liveliness, urbanity, and conveniently accommodate the spectrum of daily urban activities both in and around their project site.

The third year summer practice is composed of three stages. The first step comprises trainings to introduce technologies (Maya and Vray) in order for the students to acquire skills in recent design software/hardware technology. In the second step, students will be working in an architectural office to experience design development processes, client relations, official works, etc for at least 20 days. Finally, in the third stage students will attend an architectural excursion or work in an archaeological excavation of their own choice for at least 5 days.

On their final semester within their graduate education, this studio aims to make students utilize various information and skills for organizing complex architectural functions in coherence. In doing so, students are asked to develop their proposals based on site analysis, case-studies and studio work, as well as various design exercises addressing the design for specific architectural components such as structural system. materials and light utilization in parallel with the spatial qualities and the functions. Generally instructors propose a variety of design problems composed of a variety of locations, context and scale, resulting with a rich design environment of discussions and approaches to be nourished.
