Objectives of the Course Students are expected to deal with the issues of designing a simple functional requirement with a little complexity in the urban context. It aims for the design of a (group of) small building(s) as well as strong contextual relations which can provide the opportunity to combine functional requirements with the fundamental space qualities, to relate inner/spatial characteristics to the outer/formal appearances and to propose an interior space and architectural solution suitable to place characteristics of the site. Accordingly, students are expected to actively experience the design process not only as a problem-solving process (using analysis/synthesis modes of inquiry and linking through serial interactions and feedback loops) but also as a creative activity, which generally contains scenario writing, concept development and proposal of appropriate interior spaces and architectural forms. Consequently, the main aim of the Design Studio is to give students an introductory yet comprehensive overview of design activity with its procedural and product properties. Therefore, it provides an opportunity to witness the significant relations between process and product of design respectively.
Contents of the Course The general aim of this project is to provide the students with the skill of designing in an urban context through the creation of a ‘Small Residential Complex’ or / ‘Commercial Activity’ where the real challenge is to tackle with the problems of a decaying old urban core sloping. Students are expected to demonstrate strong respect to the physical and social characteristics of the area while producing a contemporary high quality design including full accessibility for disabled users as well as all variety of different citizens.
