Recommended Optional Program Components: For each class meeting, necessary articles are shared with students. Additionally, students are expected to work on history portfolio pages. Students are also expected to follow their own documentation practice as they follow the lecture and see the visual material shown. So, students can enhance their learning in tandem with their visual understanding of the subject while they actively engage with the course material in class.
Course Objectives: This course aims students to understand buildings as cultural matters that represent social values and meanings through materials, techniques and ideas available from the Neolithic settlers in Catalhöyük, South Anatolia up to the Renaissance. With such a view, students would explore the relationships of sites, buildings, interiors and furniture to culture, society and design philosophy, and be able to differentiate among various building cultures and design approaches. In this course, students will be encouraged to use visual and historical analysis together with sketching skills. The main objective of the final project is to make each student use a sketchbook as a private tool to jot down a history of art and architecture as visually perceived, observed and conceptually understood by the way of comparing two historic sites chosen by the student with brief written analysis of space represented in sketches.
