Course Objectives The competencies gained in the basic design courses are applied to the interior architectural design process; The course aims to develop solution proposals using appropriate research methods and transform them into projects that meet aesthetic and functional needs while controlling physical environmental conditions. Projects are user-oriented and focus on interior building systems within the framework of laws and regulations. The project is expressed through the use of effective presentation techniques.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Use appropriate research methods to analyze, synthesize and develop alternative solutions during the design process.
  • Transform conceptual design ideas into effective solutions using appropriate communication techniques and technology.
  • Create a user-centered design space that addresses aesthetic and functional needs.
  • Develop the project with consideration for interior system information, physical environmental conditions, spatial comfort, materials and products, sustainability, and regulations.
  • Develop the ability to make design and construction decisions that take into account the relationships between human-environment, culture, and geography.
Course Content The course focuses on the development of proposed solutions using research methods in the interior design process. It includes a user centered design that considers physical environmental conditions, aesthetic and functional needs, interior building systems, laws and regulations, and effective presentation techniques relevant to the given project topic.
