Objectives of the Course Identifying basic terminology of design thinking

Expressing ideas through individual design works.

Conducting design-related research on specific topics.

Using digital and conventional media for design representation
Course Content The first semester design studio is characterized by design investigations that are developed through thinking, experiencing and making. We use our personal and social environments as learning and experiencing platforms to explore different natural phenomena and different spatial constructs, thoughts and visions.

In the light of this basic methodological introduction, this course also aims to question what students have learned before and sharpen their minds about themselves and their environment restricted by a result of a set of cultural codes and biases based on taxonomic hierarchical nature of knowledge. In this manner, this course aims students to explore their inner and outer environment and their body as an intersection between those two. By doing that the cultural codes and preconditions on those adjectives will become a subject of questioning.
