Course Objectives		The Project III course provides students the skills to research, analyze, plan, and design while considering the relation between humans, nature, culture, environment, and function. Thinking critically, exploring the urban fabric, conceptualizing, and interpreting, and defining and solving functional and structural problems are essential in this studio. The main objective is to enable students to perceive, investigate, interpret, and analyze the relations humans have to space, objects (products), and the environment, in terms of both nature and culture, to develop and increase the abilities and knowledge related to techniques and methods. By the end of the course, students will be able to create design alternatives about form, function, and space in the planning and design process.

By the end of the course, students will be able to create design alternatives about form, function, and space in the planning and design process.
Course Outcomes		This course consists of 2 modules. The assessment of each module is executed separately. The projects are expected to touch on complementary themes (place, culture, parameters of design/structure, function, parametric design methods, etc.). The two modules provide a common ground for the students to explore and exchange ideas, skills, and knowledge. In the entire module, the students will gain skills in developing design alternatives about the natural, cultural, and conceptual context and by taking into consideration the structural, material, and construction parameters related to the scale of design. These projects enable students to understand the relationships between spatial structure, environment, function, and culture. Other activities such as trips, lectures, seminars, and juries are considered to support ongoing projects during the semester. The outcomes of these activities are exhibited in the colloquium at the end of the semester. Participation in these outings and other activities is mandatory. Istanbul’s Princes’ Islands - Princes' Archipelago- traditional settlements with unique characters are selected as study areas for this Project studio. The four islands, Buyukada, Heybeliada, Burgazada, and Kınalıada, representing four different socio-cultural and spatial organization forms, will be explored in terms of architecture, urban space, public spaces, environment and landscape, and everyday life.
