At the end of this course, the students; 1) By learning the ways in which the concepts of space and perception are approached in different disciplines, they can examine and evaluate the relationship between these two concepts in the context of architectural design research. 2) By gaining the basic knowledge of the cognitive and behavior theories, they can examine the perception of space in architecture through cognitive and behavioral processes. 3) They can review the relationship between the space and the subject with different levels and approaches and evaluate them in architectural analysis and architectural design methods. 4) They can gain new perspectives for architectural theory and practice by developing interdisciplinary research and thinking skills.

COURSE DEFINITION
This course aims to examine the perception of space through cognitive and behavioral processes by examining the notions of space and perception and how these are approached in different disciplines and theories. By discussing the relationship between the space and the subject with a phenomenological approach, it aims to evaluate the experience and perception in the context of architecture; thus, to contribute to students' architectural design methods.
