| Course Objectives: | The objectives of this course are; -To develop students’ awareness and sensitivity to the natural and man-made environment, -To enhance the students’ ability to approach design through understanding basic concepts, principles and elements of form and space -To develop students’ mental and manual skills to THINK and ACT and COMMUNICATE creatively. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; Students will be able to 1. Recognize the basic definitions, tools and methods of the design process 2. Develop abstract concepts and develop a critical, insightful thought process 3. Develop creative skills to design moods and atmospheres using basics of interior design such as natural/artificial light, colour, texture and materials 4. Develop intuitive structural skills concerning materiality 5. Use various presentation skills and techniques to represent space in two-and-three-dimensional drawings 6. Enhance verbal abilities to communicate design ideas to instructors and fellow students in open reviews. |
| Materiality and spatiality are the main topics to study the relationships between ‘material performance’ and ‘form’, and between ‘body’ and ‘scale’ through experimental models & drawings produced in studio environment. |
