| Learning Outcomes |
At the end of this course, the students;
- Interpret the architectural program related to the design problem and develop a theoretical statement within the framework of the relationship between theory and practice.
- Analyze socio-cultural data, environmental relationships, urban context, and functional and spatial requirements specific to the project topic.
- Develop multifunctional architectural design that pursues the public-private space relationalities in urban context within the framework of functional and spatial requirements.
- Develop design solutions using construction techniques, structural solutions, and material knowledge in line with spatial requirements
- Develop sustainable solutions that holistically address ecological, social, and economic dimensions while producing design solutions
- Develop the skill to express design scenarios and architectural details of the project conceptually and technically.

| Course Description | MIM 392 Design Studio IV aims for students to develop an architectural design that considers the relationship between public and private spaces within the framework of urban context, functional and spatial requirements. In the design process, which begins with preliminary studies on urban readings and everyday practices intended to enable students to establish conceptual frameworks that also consider the theory-practice relationship, the concepts of public space-private space are re-discussed within the framework of current issues. In this context, students are expected to analyze socio-cultural data, environmental relationships, and the urban context to produce design decisions that holistically address the interrelationship of ecological, social, and economic sustainability approaches. In the design development process, experimental studies on construction techniques, structural solutions, use of local and contemporary materials, and tectonic design approaches are included, while considering different spatial requirements in line with increasing user diversity. Furthermore, students are encouraged to use various and current 2D and 3D drawing and modeling tools and techniques, thereby developing their ability to express architectural design ideas conceptually and technically. |
