| Objectives: |
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 goal is for students to interpret exterior space usage patterns, user behavior, and landscape elements from an interior architecture perspective. The course involves a theoretical analysis of outdoor spaces based on concepts such as indoor-outdoor transitions, sensory experience, accessibility, and sustainability, and discusses the relationships established with the outdoor environment at the scale of interior architecture. |

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 interior streets); it continues with the classification of open space typologies (public, semi-public, and semi-private spaces). User behaviors, interaction patterns, and the effects of urban landscape elements on user experience in outdoor spaces are analyzed. Physical components such as planting, furnishing elements, and hard surface uses are evaluated in the context of spatial quality. 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. |
