OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	The aim of this course is to enable students to develop a concept for a retail store structure in the city center, analyze spatial functions, and acquire the ability to produce design analyses and presentations in accordance with professional presentation standards.
Contents of the Course Unit:	Within the scope of the course, the functional organization of a retail store structure is examined; existing structural data are analyzed and translated into design; an original and functional project proposal is developed; and the project is represented and presented to a jury in accordance with professional presentation standards.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to)
Creates and explains functional diagrams of a retail store structure within the context of environmental and user relationships.
Develops the conceptual design process and expresses it using appropriate visualization tools.
Resolves the functional requirements of a two-storey, street-front retail store in the city center within a conceptual framework and supports them through modeling.
Analyzes the physical and technical conditions of the existing built space.
Plans a two-storey retail store project using drawings and physical and digital models, ensuring functional and spatial coherence.
Professionally defends design decisions, contextual analyses, and visual presentations in front of a jury.

WEEKLY COURSE CONTENTS AND STUDY MATERIALS FOR PRELIMINARY & FURTHER STUDY
Week	Preparatory	Topics(Subjects)	Method
1	Performs contextual, user, and functional analyses of the retail store structure.

Through case studies, user, functional, and environmental relationships in store design are discussed. Preparation of Scenario and Analysis boards is also included.	Lecture (PowerPoint Presentation)
2	Creates scenarios and design concepts in accordance with user profiles, requirements, and environmental data.	Review of prepared research studies. Examination of the process of developing scenarios based on the retail’s user profile, functional requirements, and environmental data. Definition of the design problem through site analyses and functional diagrams. Preparation of Concept and Material boards.	Studio work and critiques
3	Refines the concept and develops the spatial plan through sketches and mass/volume studies.

8	The project is refined and revised in accordance with jury critiques.	Based on the feedback from the midterm jury, analyses, scenario, concept and material boards, site plans, floor plans, and sections are revised.	Studio work and critiques
9	Sections are finalized in accordance with technical drawing standards.	Develops 1:50 scale sections based on the existing project, ensuring compliance with technical drawing standards and the floor plans.	Studio work and critiques
10	-	MID-TERM EXAM	-
11	Develops ceiling and lighting plans.	Develops 1:50 scale ceiling and lighting plans using the existing project as a reference, ensuring compliance with technical drawing standards and the floor plans.	Studio work and critiques
12	Develops detailed relationships between the facade, storefront/display windows, and landscaping.	Studies the facade, storefront/display window, and landscape relationships on the existing project, and develops details at 1:20 and 1:10 scales.	Studio work and critiques
13	Refines and develops drawings of the facade, interior spaces, and details.	Develops 1:50 scale drawings of the facade, storefront/display windows, landscape, and interior spaces on the existing project, and refines details at 1:20 and 1:10 scales.	Studio work and critiques
14	Develops 3D models and renders that convey the spatial atmosphere and design concept.	Develops 3D models and renders to communicate the spatial relationships, atmosphere, and design concept of the existing project.	Studio work and critiques
15	Prepares final presentation boards and presents them to the jury.	2nd Jury (Final Submission): Assessment of the prepared boards and technical drawings based on the existing project.	Studio work and critiques
