OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	The aim of this course is to enable students to develop a conceptual approach and produce a functional and original design for a multi-story, basement-level, general headquarters office building located in the city center with a street front and garden, taking into account its relationship with users and the surrounding environment. Students will learn to express this design using professional presentation tools and defend it before a jury.
Contents of the Course Unit:	The course covers spatial functional analyses of a multi-story headquarters office building; analyzing existing structural data in line with user needs and the environmental context and transferring this to the design; developing an architectural program within conceptual approaches; creating original designs that meet functional, aesthetic, and technical requirements; and presenting these designs to the jury using professional presentation techniques.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to)
Defines the functional requirements and environmental context of the headquarters office structure.
Analyzes existing structural, environmental, and user-focused data and transfers it to the design process.
Develops an original design for a multi-story headquarters office building that aligns with the conceptual approach it has defined.
Expresses the project he/she has developed through technical drawings, diagrams, 3D visuals, and models.
Defends the design project before the jury using professional presentation techniques.
Makes critical revisions to the design by evaluating the feedback obtained during the project process.
