SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives:	This course aims to prepare students for architectural design by helping them develop skills of critical and creative thinking. It encourages them to relate basic design principles to architectural design and introduces different design and representation tools and approaches.
Course Content:	Introduction to the conceptualization and design of architectural space; study of space, architectural form and the relation of buildings with the environment.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are those describing the knowledge, skills and competencies that students are expected to achieve upon successful completion of the course. In this context, Course Learning Outcomes defined for this course unit are as follows:

Knowledge (Described as Theoritical and/or Factual Knowledge.)

1) Understands the relationship between design ideas and three-dimensional spaces.

Skills (Describe as Cognitive and/or Practical Skills.)

1) Apply basic design principles to make spatial arrangements.

2) During the design process, it provides integrity between space and structure by taking into account the robustness of the building.

3) Describes the space within the framework of formal and topographical conditions and establishes integrity between spaces of different characteristics.

4) Creates a graphical representation to convey a design idea.

5) Expresses design ideas in written and oral form through analysis, literary design expressions and presentations.

Competences (Described as "Ability of the learner to apply knowledge and skills autonomously with responsibility", "Learning to learn"," Communication and social" and "Field specific" competences.)

1) Develops sensitivity to environmental conditions in terms of design requirements and respecting cultural, natural and spiritual values.
