| Objectives: |
This course aims to develop students’ ability to theoretically evaluate spatial relations extending from interior to exterior within the discipline of interior architecture and environmental design. Students are expected to interpret exterior space usage patterns, user behaviors, and landscape elements from an interior architecture perspective. Within the scope of the course, concepts such as interior–exterior transitions, sensory experience, accessibility, and sustainability are analyzed theoretically, and the relationship with the external environment at the interior architecture scale is discussed. |

The course begins with the theoretical discussion of typologies of transitions from interior to exterior (such as courtyard, terrace, balcony, and inner street) and 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, furnishings, and ground surfaces 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 interior perception is considered in terms of visual continuity. Methods for user profiling and site analysis are examined in line with principles of sustainable outdoor design. Finally, conceptual outdoor proposals are theoretically assessed through diagrams, collages, and descriptive techniques. |
