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.

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 aim of this course is to teach the student by means of a project of his/her own design that will be produced in the class, the skills to evaluate concepts of space, to think systematically, to express his/her ideas and to evaluate problems from different points of view.
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 includes the construction internship. The 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.
In this course, architectural design is considered as an urban intervention. Students work on a public building project within a central urban environment, investigating the complex relationships of architectural design with its built environment, urban conditions and architectural 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.
In the third year summer internship, students will work in architectural offices of their own choice for at least 20 working days in order to gain experience in architectural office work, design development processes, client relations and official procedures.
This course is the main component of the second year curriculum. Students work on projects to develop a strong understanding of the fundamentals of spatial design. Basic elements of design are articulated through individual and group projects. Notions of the human body, structural elements, movement and functional programming are combined to create design solutions as well as identity and character in space.
The projects assigned within the context of this course will be designed to guide students in design research, to evaluate the results of this research, to determine a fitting design problem and to prepare alternative solutions to this problem.
Within the scope of the construction site internship, students will work at the construction sites of their choice in order to observe the process from design to construction and gain experience about construction processes and current construction management practices. Students can also work in the furniture production atelier, observe the production management and workflow, provided that they get the approval of the internship coordinator.
This studio course aims at achieving design solutions that integrate technical factors like acoustics, climatization, lighting and material effects, with human and social requirements and other fundamental issues of interior architecture with an emphasis on qualities of interior space. Issues of form, scale, proportion, light ,colour, texture, materials, detailing ,fixtures and furniture will be adressed as well as conceptual, physical and psychological aspects. Understanding the importance and ways of research and analysis that informs the design approach and its outcomes; developing skills for design strategy, concept forming, problem solving, detailing and communication will be the main goals of the studio work. Learning through researching, presenting one's ideas verbally as well as graphically and active participation in discussions will be required. The studio work, meanwhile, will be an opportunity for the students to reveal and implement the outcomes of the theoretical courses they take or have taken.
As the contuniation of IND 301, IND 302, aims at incorporating conceptual thinking,re-evaluation (re-use) of existing context and issues related to functional programming with technical requirements and material objectives in realization of projects. In addition to a minor project which aims at learning through manufacturing, through a large scale project students are expected to integrate a full years cumulative experience.
The studio work meanwhile, will be an opportunity for the students , to reveal and implement the outcomes of the" theoretical courses" they take or have taken .
During the internship, students will work in the design offices of their choice in order to gain experience in office works, design processes, customer-designer relationships and official procedures.
The goal of this senior year design studio is to reach a comprehensive understanding of design by analyzing, evaluating and investigating the components of various interiors -particularly in historic contexts. It puts emphasis on the designer’s responsibility to understand the reciprocal relationship between historic and contemporary dynamics and encourages added-value solutions through spatial design, material selection and program suggestions. Studies are devised to focus on how people interact with spaces and deciding how to improve them for effective and responsive design. Principles of using natural and electric light, use of color, conditioning the indoor air for providing comfort will also be explored as fundamental aspects of interior space.

This course is a continuation of the ID 101 Basic Design I course. Building on the basic design concepts and principles learned in ID 101, it introduces students to industrial design processes. The course begins with exercises involving two-dimensional and three-dimensional composition, compilation, arrangement, and reconstruction concepts, after which it starts to focus on the concept of products and product design. With an emphasis on creating "Product Identity," students undertake projects that involve creating two-dimensional designs on existing objects to understand product form and usage. Following this, the concept of functionality in existing products is examined, and a design project is conducted by making adjustments based on functionality. Next, a product design project is carried out to study the concept of form. This project allows students to experience one, two, and three-dimensional materials. Students work to understand the relationships and transitions between dimensions, thereby grasping the importance of material usage and preferences in the design process. Finally, an industrial design project is completed with limited material choices on a predetermined topic to prepare students for the "Industrial Design Studio" courses in subsequent semesters.
Drawing is the primary medium of design and design communication; architectural, interior and industrial alike. Drawings of various types facilitate the creative ideation in the design process; and they enable the construction of buildings , interiors and manufacturing of objects by operating between the involved social actors. It is indispensible for a designer to be able to form and communicate ideas in various graphic media.
ID 103 is a undergraduate course offered to first year students to teach: Basics of freehand drawing and sketching; diagrammatic expressions; geometric description and transformation of objects and spatial organizations; notions of scale and proportion; types of drawings that deploy parallel projections and also codes and conventions of technical drawing.

This is a design studio that focuses on product design suitable for mass production. The Studio focuses on functional product designs that can be produced in large numbers with different production methods and materials. In the product design and development process, it is essential to conduct research to determine user needs. The main purpose of this studio is to provide an experience of product design and development process similar to that experienced in the industry. Therefore, within the scope of the studio, collaboration can be made with the industry from time to time.
In this studio students are expected to develop a critical perspective towards design facilitated through fictional settings. After the introduction to various approaches such as associative and speculative design, the studio explores the role of design as a medium for inquiry, as well as its exploratory, speculative and propositional qualities. The students will develop a critical design proposal for a specified fictional setting with an emphasis on sustainability and ergonomics. While they are required to refer and use previous knowledge and skills in design research and design representation tools they are also expected to question commonly used typologies and mainstream approaches. Lastly, design proposals are expected to be based on alternative conceptualizations and future/fictional projections rather than existing market needs, typologies and common interpretations of phenomena.
Students will be working in an design office for at least 20 workdays to experience design development processes, client relations, official works, etc.
Before the beginning of the internship, the company should be approved by the course coordinator.
