Goals Contributing to the development of students' design skills, along with providing individual experience in the functioning of the design process and supporting critical thinking in architecture. Investigation and perception of the conceptual framework that the study includes, the user behavior, the problems of the physical environment in which the design takes place. Introducing the principles of function, form, space design, and the perception of the volume formed by the form.
Course Content Experience of the design process in the context of a place-interactive structure, space-space relationships, flexible program and material + structure + performance criteria. The design process deals with 3 modules and the questions that build and open the modules and related concepts: How does the designer see it? - Data Organization - Location-structure-space reading How does the designer think? - Thinking Organization - Problem definition instead of problem solving How do you set up a designer? - Spatial Organization - Design research
