Birinci Sınıf Bahar Dönemi

Project 1: You are asked to design a movement path consisting of the following actions of the body: Stretching, Climbing, Jumping, Bendinig Reaching Two stops (lying and/or sitting).
You are free to choose the order of consecutive movements and can use your frame in any direction. The entrance to your path does not need to correspond to the base of the frame.
Project 2: The second project addresses the relationship between the sensing body and space. Working in pairs you are asked to design four follies on a small island. Each folly should bedesigned to enable the inhabitant to isolate and accentuate predominantly one of the following senses: Smelling, hearing, touching, seeing.
Project 3: Students are asked to revise the presentation board based on your reading of a section from Juhani Pallasmaa’s book The Eye of the Skin (see the resources section for the pdf copy of the related section.)
Original assignment
1. Read the text carefully making sure that you fully understand Pallasmaa’s main points.
2. Make note of the parts which lend themselves to powerful visualization.
3. Make a visualized representation of the text without using any textual explanations. Your presentation may include photographs, drawings, graphics and a maximum of five words.
4. Include a title and your name as part of your presentation board (this is not included in the five-words limitation).

Based on the knowledge and skills gained in Basic Design in Architecture I, the focus of this course is spatial organization. Therefore, the main aim of the studio is to introduce students to the culture and practices of spatial design and help them explore and experience the fundamental approaches, skills and knowledge of the field. Students gain an understanding of scale and proportion and investigate such spatial elements as structure and materials as well as the synesthetic spatial experience via the strata such as light, texture, color and temperature, in an environmental context. By means of 3D modeling they understand the role of surfaces, solids and voids, computational design tools, and physical and perceptual dimensions of space in relation to specific programs, activities and contexts. Emphasis is placed on systematic decision-making processes in producing, combining and multiplying spatial elements for different functions.
The course content is structured through hands-on exercises, briefs, and rehearsals of the design processes in order to achieve the learning outcomes and aims of the course. The course is conducted as a digital studio environment in which “learning by doing” is crucial. The main topics of the course are introduced in the table below, however the semester is open to spontaneous practices due to the nature of the course.
The process of the course is as follows:
Anthropometry, movement and ergonomics
Subjectivity in space (spatial organization and experience)
Subjectivity in space (structure and materiality)
Intersubjectivity in space (spatial scenario and organization)
Intersubjectivity in space (context and environment)
Intersubjectivity in space (synesthetic experience and narrations)
Intersubjectivity in space (structure and materiality)
Intersubjectivity in space (social dynamics)
