| Course Objectives: | This course aims to develop an understanding of the potential of photographic representation not just as a tool for publicity but also as a powerful tool for strenghtening the understanding of architecture and help design feedback. Technical, historical and aesthetic aspects of photography in general and architectural photography in particular, will be covered in order to enrich the creative process. |

The students who have succeeded in this course; A student completing this course will be able to - Gain basic photographing skills and improve their ability to express their ideas clearly through the medium of photography - Gain relevant information of the equipment, processes, and procedures necessary for photographing building exteriors and interiors, dusk/night and night architectural landscapes, and construction progress. - Recognize works by the prominent authors from the history of architectural photography as well as contemporary architectural photographers. - Be aware of alternative techniques and approaches thus developing a personal photographic language. - Learn how to handle photographic content for presentation or exhibition purposes. - Develop visual communication and critical skills.is. |
| The course comprises lectures, discussions, photographic assignments, photo critiques and printed/digital presentations of given assignments. Assignments are implemented to help explore options for technical control as well as visual experimentation and individual style. Students are expected and will be encouraged to select their projects in the scope of their area of interests and to develop a personal approach and photographic language. Critiques of assignments are important to the progress of each individual in the class, to help verbalize visual concepts, and to learn to see actively. The final exam consists of submission of a portfolio of photographs and an artist’s statement. By the end of the course, students will be asked to compile a cohesive body of Architectural work for the intended printed exhibition and/also web publication. |
