PEM 311E - Landscape Design II

Course Objectives

The project aims to shift the paradigm from mass housing as a monologue—disconnected from geography and user needs—to a dialogue that fosters meaningful relationships between the designed landscape, cultural context, and spatial experience.

Course Description

This studio focuses on the TOKİ housing area in Muğla Menteşe, a region proximate to key public facilities such as universities and hospitals. The central question, "Whose landscape is this?" seeks to explore the potential of landscapes associated with mass housing areas, which are frequently criticized for contributing to identity erosion due to their repetitive and monotonous designs.
