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.

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 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.
The particular objective of the ARCH 401 studio is to understand, evaluate and intervene with a 'valuable' object of architecture in regard to its attributes and its position within the historical and urban context. The studio evolves around the selected entity that constitutes an important element of urban memory and possesses potentials for enabling debates on concepts and acts of: public/private, performance/function, restoration/rehabilitation, conservation/restitution. Students are guided to hold detailed analysis on building, close surrounding and urban context levels, in order to recognize and interpret the building in terms its features and values as well as problems associated with it. These analysis will be the basis for design process, where the students are expected to develop a multi-level adaptive reuse scenario followed with a coherent approach presenting architectural intervention decisions and methods.
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.
Design Geometry makes mathematics visible and workable for designers. It helps us to make sense of the environment we experience and shows the ways of touching it. In this course, students construct the knowledge of basic Euclidean geometry through design. It is aimed to develop a visual literacy based on design skills with the help of computer interfaces.
Computational design theories, technologies and tools lie as the core subjects of Design Computing course. The goal is to encourage students in approaching design problems with an analytical attitude. This attitude follows the problem by dividing it into sub-problems and suggesting solution systems in a non-linear fashion. This course improves on the skills given in the first term geometry course. It introduces coding, optimization and simulation as methods supporting design studies.
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.
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.
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.
Analysis, design, integration and preparation of drawings construction details of internal building elements and components: internal partition systems, floor systems, vertical circulation systems, wet area systems and furniture systems. Designing internal building element systems considering performance requirements related to constructional design and resources, Integration of building element systems with each other and with other sub systems (structural, mechanical, electrical etc) with a holistic perspective. Application-studio work: Analysis, design and integration of each building element and its components according to the given criteria and constraints.

In order to acquire experience in production/actualization process of an industrial product and the existing material potentials for manufacturing a product, students will be working at manufacturing facility of their choice for at least 20 workdays to observe the design-to-production processes.
Vertical Studios emerge from the critical shifts in the conventional studio structure in Industrial Product Design departments. First of all, such a studio aimes to break the common, year-based studio formation by experimenting with a vertical organization.
Second, third and fourth year students participate in the studio, where the goal is to construct a studio system based on concepts and issues instead of years and requirements. Students experience a wide range of issues from fundamentals of product design to mass production, human-machine interaction, craftsmanship, new production techniques, electronic and mechanical products. Each section has a different field of interest such as medical design, transportation design, furniture, communication & interaction products, sanitary products, and alike. Students will work in individual and collaborative assignments to understand and reflect on the subjects and develop projects with/for local producers, industry brands, NGO’s and several institutions.
