Key Learning Outcomes

  • Analyzes the components of the design process, uses design tools, methods, and organization systems; acquires the ability to apply design principles at the scales of urban, building, and space.
  • Acquires the skills of research and analysis, comprehends the basic architectural qualities of research and analysis results, and produces solutions that will enable these qualities to be associated with the design process.
  • Resolves potentials and problems in approaching design problems, produces alternative concepts by developing notion, and proposes theoretical and practical suggestions for the solution of the problem.
  • Comprehends the visualization process with the valid technical expression and tools in the design process and in the expression of the final product, produces technically correct and expressive two- and three-dimensional drawings and models using hand and/or computer techniques.
  • Understands the importance of using appropriate presentation techniques in the design process and in the expression of final product, develops the ability to observe, perceive, and analyze three-dimensional objects and spaces.
  • Acquires the ability to obtain information about the context of the environment, urban, and society in design, to evaluate this information with a holistic approach during the design process, and to develop suggestions for the context with design tools.
  • Conducts studies on recognizing cities and urban spaces, comprehends and uses the basic techniques necessary to understand the history, morphological structure and typological character of cities and to prepare design projects to be developed in this context.
  • Comprehends the needs, values, and behavioral norms of different cultures and individuals and considers them in the architectural design process.
  • On the global and local scale, notices the architecture of different periods of history and the climatic, technological, socio-economic, and cultural factors which shape the architecture.
  • Carries out studies aimed at recognizing and protecting cultural heritage, comprehends and uses basic information and techniques on documentation and conversation studies.
  • Analyzes architectural products by establishing their relation with the context, develops reading, writing, and questioning skills on the production of space.
  • Becomes sensitive to cultural and historical accumulation and responsible in increasing the quality of life on a local and global scale, acquires awareness of lifelong learning.
  • Understands the effects of function, form, material and construction systems in the design process and develops the ability to use them as design inputs.
  • Becomes aware of current discussions on sustainability and the environment, develops sensitivity towards the conservation and correct use of resources in the design process.
  • Becomes aware of current architectural debates; develops solutions that will allow the independent and holistic use of disadvantaged groups through architectural design.
  • Identifies the behavior principles, design principles, development and applications of traditional and contemporary carrier systems and incorporates this information into the design process with a holistic approach.
  • In construction design; comprehends the carrier system, construction element systems and service systems; uses them holistically in the design process by associating them with each other.
  • Understands the principles and standards related to the production, use and applications of construction materials and components, and uses them holistically in the design process.
  • In the design process; comprehends the basic principles of environmental systems and lighting, acoustics, air conditioning and energy use and operate them by associating with each other.
  • Analyzes employer and user requirements during the design process, determines spatial needs, ascertains the relevant codes, specifications and standards and comprehends their impact on the development of the design.
  • Acquires knowledge on relevant laws and regulations for public health, safety and benefit; comprehends the ethical responsibilities of the architect to the public, the user, the employer and the stakeholders and relates all these responsibilities with each other.
  • Considers the requirements of the relevant laws and regulations (fire, earthquake, etc.) as fundamental inputs in the design process.
  • Recognizes the roles of other disciplines in the design process, takes part in the design process both individually and as part of multidisciplinary teams and coordinates relationships with other disciplines.
  • Uses the English language at a level that will be proficient in professional terminology, follow the developments in the field of architecture and communicate with colleagues.
  • Analyzes the relationship between the construction sector and architectural project production within the framework of architectural practice and management.
