Course Objectives The aim of the course is to improve Interior Design students’ skills to identify problem, sense, and question, analyze, synthesize, decide and solve, create; to prepare students to projects that have more design problems; to save them skill for three dimensional thinking and expressing during etude and presentation phases.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Gain skill to do analyses during the design process.
  • Learn to do synthesis depending on the results of the analyses.
  • Develop alternative solutions as a result of the analyses and synthesis.
  • Gain skill to decide on unique design.
  • Prepare two dimensional works presents convenient design language.
  • Solve problems of interior spaces that include human-environment relations.
Course Content The problem of analyzing an interior space that includes human-environment relations; a working process in which functional relations in design covered and the formation is developed by creative skills.
