INTRODUCTION

The primary goal of the Architectural Design II workshop is to gain the


skills of revealing the relationships existing within the given plot,
abstraction, visual expression, analysis, visual creativity, defining and
organizing new relationships, and producing spatial solutions created by
different relationships.
The method to achieve this goal is to gain the ability to think and express
in three dimensions. Two-dimensional studies should be supported by
models, computer programs or perspective drawings and three-
dimensional thinking should become a part of the design process.
In architectural design, methods such as concept, context, limitations and
metaphor should be used to develop the mindset, and in addition to these
methods, it is important to adopt the workshop as a working environment
where information is produced, discussed and shared.

PROGRAM
The project is the design of a building / building ensemble within the land
you are given, whose function is a welcome center that establishes a
relationship with the archaeological site in the immediate vicinity. The
functions expected to be within this Center,

- Welcome Hall
- Exhibition Hall
- Various Touristic Activity Area; Sales, Promotion....
- Show Hall
- Observation Terrace
- WC
- Service Venues

Connections
* public space * socializable spaces * participation in the city / active -
passive * square * diversity in the city * urban space * occupancy /
emptiness * transience / permanence * fluidity - contamination *
reproduction / diversification * cultural production

…… It is important for you to read and think about concepts such as the
connections above; and to start thinking about these issues. In the first
weeks of the project courses, there will be discussions about these topics,
you will be expected to actively participate in the readings shared with
you by your project instructor, and you will be asked for your opinions.
From time to time, you will be asked to share your questions, concerns
and suggestions with the class through posters such as collages, examples
or other presentation techniques.

In the next stage, you are expected to design a welcome center on the
parcel shared with you in the light of the readings you have done on public
space, the information you have acquired, the conclusions you have
reached or the suggestions you have defended. How you design the
spaces with various functions within the program is up to you; it can
consist of closed, semi-open, open spaces. All the spaces, objects,
structures or other urban-scale furnishings you will design should be
considered and related together. The structure you design will be related
to the environment and will be presented freely with representation
methods such as diagrams, videos, mind mapping, storyboards, 3d, 2d,
collage.

GRADING AND EVALUATION CRITERIA


Final grades depend on the development of each student's individual
project design, attendance, class participation, attitude and behavior. In
the evaluation of the design project, not only the final product and
documents, but also the student's development process throughout the
semester is taken into consideration. All kinds of drawings, sketches,
models and similar documents requested by the studio instructors and
showing the student's efforts and development process are part of the
evaluation. Students are expected to participate in activities that enrich
their studio work.

Evaluation of final grade


1. Weekly assessment taken with active participation in class :
%30
(*active participation is not only the student's presence in class, but
also his/her participation in critiques and discussions where he/she
presents his/her work.)
2. Interim Jury Evaluation: 30% (To be determined on the basis of
evaluation criteria and jury opinions)
3. Final submission : %40 (To be determined on the basis of
evaluation criteria)

STUDIO PRINCIPLES AND PROCEDURES

Studio work includes a variety of projects and assignments that aim for
students to learn about design tools and principles, conceptual production,
building systems and contextual relationships through the different design
issues, resources, processes and vocabulary introduced. Designs, each
addressing interrelated issues, provide an opportunity to develop dynamic
thinking and experience generating ideas and problem solving within set
timeframes. The courses aim to support students in their efforts to acquire
the necessary design knowledge and encourage them to further research
and discuss the contemporary design agenda.
WEEKLY PROGRAM
Projects and other required assignments and studies will be submitted on
the dates specified in the syllabus. Late submission will not be accepted.
