Mode of Delivery:	Face to face
Course Coordinator :	Assist. Prof. MURAD BABADAĞ
Recommended Optional Program Components:	None
Course Objectives:	Ensuring that students recall the representational languages of architecture, interior architecture, and industrial design disciplines, as well as how these languages are used. Helping students understand what the common representational languages of these three disciplines are and how they can be used together. Additionally, explaining the fundamental concepts of eliminating scale differences in interdisciplinary work. Enabling students to put into practice their ability to work collaboratively in a workshop setting by overcoming scale differences across disciplines. In this process, applying their skills to establish communication channels effectively using different representational languages. Encouraging students to analyze the similarities and differences among the three disciplines and, based on these analyses, determine the methods for obtaining conceptual content. Supporting students in developing new and creative communication channels by utilizing interdisciplinary collaboration and representational languages. In this process, they are expected to synthesize theoretical and practical knowledge and generate innovative solutions. Encouraging students to evaluate the communication channels and representational languages they have developed, discussing which methods are most effective and which strategies are more efficient The aim of the course is to provide the student with theoretical and practical knowledge about the methods of obtaining conceptual content in communication channels that will be developed by using all representation languages used by these three disciplines by working together and side by side in a workshop in a way that can eliminate the scale difference in these different disciplines.

- elimination of interdisciplinary scale differences
- Increasing the ability of three different disciplines to work together

- design a visual entity with conceptual content.

Course Content

The course content involves analyzing the theoretical foundations of the design process at both conscious and subconscious levels, understanding how the designer establishes themselves as an active agent in practice, and evaluating and applying this process through theoretical discussions and workshop activities. It includes a learning process where the communication principles of all representational languages and conceptual structuring are explained, knowledge is applied through design samples, and students synthesize what they have learned to develop new solutions.
The teaching methods of the course are as follows: lecture, reading, discussion and individual study

The content of the course consists of theoretical part and workshop studies that will make it possible to examine the theoretical infrastructure of the design activity at the conscious and unconscious level, and to understand how the designer actually establishes himself as an agent. It consists of verbal information in which the communication principles of all representation languages and conceptual construction are conveyed, and design examples in which the knowledge is applied.
