| Course Objectives: | This course deeply examines the key factors shaping design and production processes in interior architecture and design, focusing on the selected historical period between 1950 and 1980. It addresses both tectonic elements, such as materials, decorative components, technology, and furniture, which shape space, as well as cultural factors like everyday life, gender, and popular culture. The primary aim of the course is to critically evaluate how these factors are reflected in the design practices of prominent architects, designers, and artists of the period. Additionally, the course explores how these phenomena manifest in other disciplines, such as cinema, fostering students' ability to make interdisciplinary connections and understand these interactions. |

The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Explores the relationships between living spaces, buildings, interior design, and furniture with culture, society, and design philosophy, and defines the connections between these elements. 2. Considers the tectonic and cultural elements that constitute interior spaces together, explaining their holistic impact on interior design and formation, and conducts spatial analysis. 3. Distinguishes between different design approaches within the history of interior architecture and design, and applies these approaches to design practice by relating them to concrete examples. 4. Analyzes the relationship between interior architecture, design, history, and culture, examining the interdisciplinary connections between these fields and developing a critical perspective on contemporary design practices. 5. Combines theoretical and practical knowledge within the scope of the course to develop innovative ideas that integrate past design movements and approaches into contemporary design practices. 6. Critically evaluates different design approaches and their social, cultural, and historical impacts, making design decisions based on their own analysis. |
| The aim of this synchronously conducted course is to enable students to critically examine the tectonic and cultural phenomena influencing space design during the 1950-1980 period in interior architecture and design history. Throughout this process, a framework will be established to help students understand, analyze, and relate the historical context to contemporary design issues. During the course, students will independently formulate and research design problems related to the selected period, evaluate their findings, and link these insights to application processes with a creative approach. Simultaneously, the course aims to critically analyze the spatial relationships of the period and the norms affecting their social dimensions, fostering the development of new approaches and theories based on these analyses. Throughout this process, students will learn to master scientific research methods, structure and analyze their work within these frameworks, and discuss the relationships between interior design, history, and culture from an interdisciplinary perspective. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to actively participate in class discussions, sharing their own views and critiques on the topics covered in the course. In the course, teaching methods and techniques such as lectures, individual study, case analysis, and reading are utilized. |
