Additively, through a field work which will be held in Ida Mountains, these theoretical discussions will be supported by the practical experiences.
It has become clear that we live in an increasingly interdependent world: Agricultural prices in the United States or the sovereign debt level in Greece can and do determine employment and economic growth in Bursa and every other part of the world; carbon dioxide emissions from China can affect crop yields in Konya and the quality of life in Bangladesh, Vietnam, and beyond; an epidemic in Mexico or a nuclear leak in Japan can determine the state of public health policies halfway around the world. Our lives are no longer solely authored by us but are being co-authored with others. How we manage and navigate our epic global interdependence is one of the most pressing and thorny questions of our century. During this course, we will try to seek answers to this question.

When we say globalisation, we surely mean different things. For some, it means new opportunities and ever accelerated rates of cultural exchange. For others, the word is simply a replacement for colonialism or imperialism. Some see it as a claim-making device for their political projects; some take it for a myth. There are disagreements almost over every aspect of globalisation including when it has started. Has it become apparent in 1980s, or did it emerge way before that, say, in the 15th century? Let us speculate further: how would the periodization shift if we followed earlier forms of biological exchange, especially if we took non-humans (trees, animals, geological movements) into account?
We look at diverse phenomena - so diverse that it sometimes does not even make sense to attach a label to them. Agents are distinct; histories are unalike! Yet, we still want to find some underlying streams and common themes that connect here to there. We want to be able to talk, for example, about the Bangladeshi workers and urban regeneration projects in Istanbul as interconnected phenomena.
One of the aims of this course is to disentangle a complex series of processes, which are (rightly or wrongly) called globalisation. Our aim will be to think through this diversity, look at its different facets and to analyse what globalisation might mean in each and every instance. All along, we will develop a sense for avoiding shortcuts, general statements, and binary forms of thinking such as 'local versus global'. The course will sharpen your analytical understanding; make you keen on some hot issues about globalisation; make it harder for you to jump into conclusions, and instead, make you approach issues from a sociological point of view.

The course intends to revisit the potentials of the concept of roof; not only as an architectural expression but as an architectural space.
A research on the history, performance, and spatial expressions of different roof typologies will be followed by speculative roof additions to existing everyday buildings. Subjective readings of the existing structure and its logic will be used to establish the rules and constraints for the addition. Particular emphasis will be given to the understanding of the relationship between structure, light, and space as well as the staking of a position relative to the existing.
In their golden years, the young Arab nations gave birth to aspiring modern urban projects. In a part of the world where the notion of nation-state has run bankrupt, it seems brave to revisit the ambitious products of this long gone Modern era. These latent and inanimate structures bear great potential for recovery; it might be time to reinvent them.
The course intends to revisit the Modern Arab architecture by injecting it with instruments of a different nature. Students will be asked to construct individual stories stemming from their study of The Tripoli International Fair, thus deriving a situation and program, to ultimately intervene through a device spontaneously grafting itself onto this latent corpse. The exercise is an attempt to still extract meaning through the manipulation of this phantom, while considering the bitter realities of its present situation in opposition to the socio-political and economical context that produced it.
In this studio students will work on exercises in “settlement patterns”. The course will cover various problem definitions including how to create new patterns, link them with existing patterns and interpret them. Developed housing areas, new settlement areas and central business areas in cities will be dealt with as categories of “settings” to work on.
This studio will focus on the design of the ‘monument' as an element that triggers urban change.

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 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.
