Course Objectives		1. To question the role of materials in integrated architectural design process. 2. To evaluate the relationship between material, form, performance, optimization and digital fabrication. 3. To internalize algorithmic design processes that require systematic approach. 4. To realize creative design applications, in which material is the driving force.
Course Description		Evaluating role of materials in architectural design process; assessing material, form and performance in natural systems integrally; computational design process run by materials in architecture; properties of materials affecting architectural design; relationship between structure, performance, optimization and digital fabrication methods; design between scales; re-interpreting material systems in architecture by digital design and fabrication methods; material synthesis in architectural design by evaluating different types of parameters.
Course Outcomes		1. To interpret the contribution of material into architectural design process. 2. To increase skills of working in interdisciplinary context. 3. To internalize the role of technology in architectural design 4. To participate in solutions of complex problems in architectural design. 5. To gain research, analysis and interpretation skills. 6. To produce new information by developing the existing knowledge.
