At the end of this course, the students; 1) Interpret the architectural program and to generate a conceptual framework. 2) Analyze socio-cultural data, environmental relations, urban context, functional and spatial requirements for the project. 3) Establish and develop the architectural relationship between space and context. 4) Learn to design public and private space relations by considering urban design issues and environmental data. 5) While determining the tectonic, structural and program organization of the building, students can develop creative solutions for the design question. 6) Analyze construction techniques, structural solutions and application processes of local and current materials in line with spatial requirements and apply them in the project solution process. 7) Develop the ability to express their design ideas and architectural projects both conceptually and technically.
