Course Objectives The course teaches spatial practices and systemic solutions using modular approaches. Students produce flexible and transformable spatial solutions that modularity offers using their hands, minds, and drawing skills. The course aims to introduce modular systems and develop the ability to use schematic codifications formed through these systems in spatial solutions.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Gain the ability to control multidimensional variables when solving design problems and construct a network of system relationships between modules.
  • Develop manual dexterity and improve two and three dimensional perception by creating practical examples.
  • Gain the ability to apply acquired knowledge in interdisciplinary project partnerships, as modular systems have applications across all design disciplines.
  • Gain the ability to apply theoretical knowledge to changing daily life dynamics and spatial practice.
Course Content This course explores the spatial effects of the changing world order,focusing on spatial qualities and user profiles,with the aim of designing new requirements that may arise in different scales and types of spaces (residences, openindoor public spaces,etc.) with an emphasis on multifunctionality and modular consciousness.
