At the end of this course, the students; 1) Be able to use basic design principles while designing space. 2) Be able to interrelate and arrange spaces with different qualities and properties in achieving unity. 3) Have basic knowledge of anthropometrics and ergonomics related to human body and scale and use this kowledge while desiging space. 4) Be able to evaluate and emply form ? function relationship while designing space both in hypothetical and in real world situations. 5) Possess general knowledge on structures and built forms and applies this knowledge in designing space. 6) Discuss and interpret the relation of space with place and context and develop skills to use and apply this comprehension in creating solutions to design problems. 7) Be able to work individually and collectively in developing proposals during the design process.

COURSE DEFINITION
Basic Design II is an intermediate course that prepares students and lays conceptual, theoretical, and process-based foundations for architectural design. In this course, students are introduced with the concept of ?space?. Hence, the course aims to develop and associate students? skills of designing in two and three-dimensional media in making spatial designs. By the end of the course, students are expected to understand and question form-function associations; possess general knowledge on structures and built forms; have basic knowledge of anthropometrics and ergonomics related to human body and scale; understand and question the relation of space to environmental conditions both in hypothetical and in real-world situations and to develop skills to use and apply this knowledge in creating solutions to design problems.
