Objectives and Contents

Objectives: The aim of the course is to explore the intersection between architecture and literature, enhancing students' understanding, design, and representation of space.
Content: Drawing on the six key concepts from Italo Calvino's Six Memos for the Next Millennium, students will investigate the relationship between these concepts and architecture, questioning their spatial implications. In this process, models will be used as a tool for architectural representation, and students will also craft the narrative of their models. In the second part of the course, this relationship between literature and architecture will be expanded into an urban context, with reference to Kevin Lynch's The Image of the City. Through this exploration, students will gain a deeper understanding of both individual and collective spatial perceptions. *To prevent and reduce consumption, students will make their models using upcycling techniques throughout the semester.
