SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives: This course aims to develop digital design thinking skills of students at an intermediate level. It aims to provide students with practical experience in areas such as digital media theory, visual communication techniques, interactive presentation preparation, and 3D modeling. At the same time, it enables them to explore the role of digital media in fields like architecture and make better use of digital tools in their professional projects.






Course Content: Computer aided design tools, creative and generative design methods, form generations and shape grammars and spatial configurations.

This course employs the project-based learning approach. In this respect aside from the conventional content the course has a project-based learning component. The project based-learning component aims realising one or more projects designed for learning purposes involving the development of certain intermediary and final deliverables in a step-by-step mannerby the students individually or in project teams. The "Dijital Medya II" course may cover advanced knowledge on the use of digital media tools and technologies in fields such as architecture. In this course, practical studies may be conducted in areas such as digital media theory, digital design, digital image processing, 3D modeling, animation, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence. Additionally, the ability to prepare interactive presentations and projects using digital media can be developed. Such courses generally aim to encourage the use of digital tools in creative processes, equipping students with new methods and techniques for expression.
