Introduction to Architectural Design 1 course is designed as a compilation of Basic Design, Introduction to Architecture and Building Information courses. The course is taught in various short projects that have parallel values but aim to provide different course outcomes. Projects where they can discuss composition, fiction, aesthetics, structure, volume and abstraction within the scope of Basic Design; Projects within the scope of Introduction to Architecture in which they can gain the ability to understand the concept of space, construct space, design spatial components, and establish the body-space relationship; Within the scope of Building Information, projects are produced where they can learn spatial organization, building components, function, user and location information. It is expected from the current course instructors to devise project topics that can provide these course outcomes. |
