OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	This course aims to develop students' ability to evaluate spatial relationships extending from interior to exterior spaces within a theoretical framework, within the discipline of interior architecture and environmental design. The objective is for students to interpret exterior space usage patterns, user behaviour, and landscape elements from an interior architecture perspective. Within the scope of the course, the theoretical analysis of the outdoor space is conducted in line with concepts such as indoor-outdoor transitions, sensory experience, accessibility, and sustainability, and the relationships established with the outdoor environment at the scale of interior architecture are discussed.
Contents of the Course Unit:	The course content begins with a theoretical examination of typologies related to the transition from interior to exterior spaces (such as courtyards, terraces, balconies, and internal streets); it continues with the classification of open space typologies (public, semi-public, and semi-private spaces). User behaviour in outdoor spaces, interaction patterns, and the effects of urban landscape elements on user experience are analysed. Physical components such as planting, fixtures, and hard surface usage are evaluated in the context of spatial quality. The concepts of accessibility, orientation, safety and climatic comfort are discussed within a theoretical framework, while the contribution of landscape to the perception of interior space is also addressed in terms of visual continuity. User profile and area analysis methods are examined in line with the principles of sustainable outdoor environment design; finally, conceptual outdoor space proposals are theoretically evaluated using schematic, collage and descriptive narrative techniques.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to)
It defines the fundamental concepts of interior-exterior space relationships, open space typologies, and landscape components.
Explains user behaviour, sensory experience and spatial perception in outdoor environments within their cultural, physical and social contexts.
Compares different indoor-outdoor transition spaces in terms of public use, accessibility and user profile.
Analyse examples of urban outdoor spaces in the context of landscape elements, climatic comfort and sustainability principles.
Theoretically evaluates the functional, aesthetic and user-oriented aspects of the exterior space at the scale of interior architecture.
Develops and justifies theoretical design proposals suitable for different contexts, dased on field analyses and user profiles.
