Course DescriptionMIM 491 Design Studio V aims to produce design solutions for complex architectural programs that respond to the needs of multiple and diverse user groups. By discussing current developments in the field of architectural design and practice, students are expected to develop conceptual frameworks establishing the theory-practice relationship and to produce original and contemporary project studies and innovative architectural solutions for the given design problem based on their analyses investigating socio-cultural data, built and natural environment relationships, and functional and spatial requirements. While interpreting the architectural program and developing the design idea by interpreting the data correctly, students are aimed to develop sustainable architectural design approaches by transferring all the knowledge taken in theoretical and applied courses to design and grasping the importance of a holistic consideration of ecological, social, and economic dimensions in their projects. Students are expected to present their design ideas in a clear, accurate, and impressive manner by sharing it using the right tools through 2D and 3D drawing and modeling tools and techniques.
