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 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

This studio explores the manufacturing traditions of artifacts (specifically pre and also post industrial revolution) and their linkage with human capacity and skills. The studio focuses on learning by doing/making and thus helps students understand materials and craft production methods. The studio program involves work visits in crafts workshops in the city where students experience apprenticeship of craft production and culture, first hand. Students participate in traditional production processes of crafts and material such as carpentry, metal, glass, ceramics, textile, neon among others, throughout the semester. The studio aims that the students relate and put in use their experiences on craft production methods with a contemporary design understanding.
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.
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. 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.
