Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
- Ability to use appropriate representational media, such as traditional graphic and digital technology skills, to convey essential formal elements at each stage of the programming and design process.
- Ability to respond to site characteristics such as soil, topography, vegetation, and watershed in the development of a project design.

Course Content

Presentation Techniques Course provides students new ways of seeing, and representing what they see via sketching techniques, abstractions and images. Main aim of this course is to define a place and explore the context while tracing of genius loci. This method will help students to understand existing one before designing new.
