Course Objective
Theoretical and applied lessons learned information architecture design and improvement with corrections
Course Content
Design problems of the buildings are discussed in different scale and detail levels/building groups; in all relationships with the city buildings are handled; contributing to the environment, problems, solutions of the building will be investigated; complex and multifunction building programs and solutions are developed; different structure, construction, production and complex functions are discussed; up to address the problems, design problems are discussed through architecture.

Explanations
- Midterm Examination: The date, time, and venue of the midterm examination will be announced by the Dean’s Office.
- Practical Exercises: Practical exercises will be carried out in accordance with the topics covered during the course. Submission deadlines for each exercise will be announced separately.
- Quizzes: Quizzes will be announced one week in advance, and the announcement will specify the course content to be covered.
- Final Submission: The final submission will consist of six practical applications completed throughout the semester. These applications must be integrated into the student's architectural design project developed within the concurrent Architectural Design Studio. For each application topic, students are required to prepare one A3 or B2 presentation board that explains both the theoretical framework of the application and its implementation within the architectural project. Final submissions must be submitted both digitally and in printed format.
- Final Assessment Policy: As the final assessment is based on a comprehensive project submission rather than a written examination, there is no make-up (resit) examination for this course.
Rules
Attendance: According to the University Regulations, students who fail to attend at least 70% of the total course hours will receive a grade of DZ (Absent) and will automatically fail the course.
