Course Description

This course aims to examine the concept of atmosphere in interior spaces through its theoretical dimensions. Students learn the theoretical approaches that define spatial atmosphere and gain experience in using this concept as a tool for analysis and design. The course encourages students to analyze the atmosphere of an interior space through sensory, experiential, and analytical methods, and to reinterpret and express this atmosphere using alternative modes of representation.
