Course Description

Design not only refers to the particular works of art that we encounter in the art and aesthetics field, but also to an autonomous concept that exists in the productive process as a whole. The design concept that expresses the general experiences and applications formed by the shaping of an idea in the object, is analyzed specifically under the museology practices. The use of the principles of design aesthetics in museum and museum applications, interior design of the museum and the sensibility principles of design aesthetics in the museum, and the design aesthetics dimension of this aesthetization is examined as a whole.
