| Course Objectives: | This course is designed to train students from various design departments who possess basic technical drawing skills, aiming to enhance their perception and ability to take visual notes through hand sketching and creating an architectural journal. Students will develop freehand perspective drawing and rendering techniques that sharpen their observation, perception, expression, and analytical skills, enabling them to produce creative and artistic visualizations. The course includes seminars and field trips, offering students the chance to explore the architectural history of Istanbul’s most remarkable buildings and historic districts. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. visualize the built environment or interior spaces they encounter or design, conduct visual analyses, and create compelling visuals, when applying your profession. 2. create various creative syntheses using data obtained from the built environment and interior spaces you perceive and visually record, as part of their profession. 3. utilize the sketching skills you have refined through the development of hand-eye coordination, as a visual communication tool during advanced presentation phases. 4. create artistic perspectives of the built environment or interior spaces by considering proportions and scales, using practical and rapid sketching techniques. 5. grasp the effects of the encountered spaces on history, culture, and social life, gaining awareness in this regard. 6. develop awareness regarding the preparation of produced sketches in accordance with ethical principles and respect for intellectual and industrial rights, as a conscious and responsible designer. |
| Visiting the historic districts of Istanbul and conducting conceptual visualizations of these spaces through freehand sketches. The teaching methods and techniques employed in the INT2943 course include Field Trip, Fieldwork, Individual Study, Lecture, and Observation. |
