Course Objectives		The studio aims to develop a solution for a Collaborative Design and Making Laboratory, located in Yeldeğirmeni, Kadıköy. The process will be informed by the analysis of the context, urban fabric, topography, and historical and cultural domains of the site, followed by interpreting the functional program and user requirements. The students are expected to interpret the program and identify a unique scenario for linking the functions within one building solution with the wider content. The functional program elements and scenarios for each proposal should be assessed and detailed by the students. The key concepts to be investigated are space, spatial organization, users, actions, scale, function, circulation, accessibility, computation and integrated design processes. Additionally, the students are expected to interpret the concept of sustainability, its principles and their integration with their architectural proposal. Design Research(dr) and Design Exploration(de) are the two critical stages of the studio. Research, readings, analysis, mappings, presentations, sketches, drawings and modelling will be integral parts of the process. The use of different modes of modelling, including physical, digital and algorithmic modelling will be explored. Throughout the studio, presentations and discussions will be held related to contemporary architectural works and ideas.
Course Description		The methodology obtains two modules. The methods and techniques include various types of representation, computation and analysis, including diagramming, physical modelling, two-and three-dimensional drawings, geometric modelling, algorithmic design and simulations.
Course Outcomes		• To develop architectural design skills. • To evaluate the project within existing the urban fabric, topography and skyline of Istanbul. • To develop conceptual studies/diagrams. • To generate open and semi-enclosed spaces for public use. • To design flexible spaces, able to respond to changes over time. • To propose innovative and original design solutions. • To improve representation and communication skills. • To assess accessibility in the project • To use sustainable design principles in the process. • To solve comprehensive architectural problems. • To assess form, material, structure and manufacturing technologies as a holistic system.
