Purpose and content of the course
| Course Objectives: | Beginnings is a freshman year design studio discussing the question of “What is design?” by making. The studio resists the anthropocentric perspective and its domination, which suggest that humans are unique and take precedence over non-humans. It stands next that all living and non-living beings are interconnected and interrelated. “Species are companions”. Nature is a co-construction between human and nonhuman. It is a common-place. “Beginnings” means re-discovery. The studio’s collaborators (students) are the new "explorers". Its main motivations are to wonder, to explore, to be surprised, to be excited, to walk, to look closely, to touch, to take a wild inner wandering, to forget to act with the given, to ask questions about oneself, place and materials, to witness, to dream, to slow down, to spend time on site and to think and make with all of them. It takes into account an autobiographical position of action. Moments exist with circumstances and relationships. The studio is skeptical of what is called 'analyzing the place'. It seeks for speculative, tactile and active ways of exploring the potential of place, one, and us to trigger the thought. It asks all kinds of questions, constructs analog methods, environments and mechanisms in order to produce creative coexistence with the place. Studio II: Beginnings continues to think through materials, environments and techniques in accordance with the setup of the Studio I: Encounters. Can we learn not to look at things alone, and can we delicately design the moments of encounter that establish an atmospheric relationship between the place and the subject, with the tools of architecture? By focusing on the nature's Istanbul, Beginnings studio consists of three modules: 1/ Bostan (Yedikule: A Diary of the Life of Bostan, Lettuce and Bostancı) 2/ Island (Burgazada, Walking and Collecting, An Attempt to Create a Herbarium) 3/ Speculative Fiction - Being / Inventing a Landscape 4/ Forest- Wild Land (Belgrad, Layers of a Forest as a Volumetric Terrain) 5/ Active Landscape and Shoreline (Rumeli Feneri, Existential Refining) Each module continues with invited speakers and workshops parallel to the studio work. |
| Course Objective: | • To grasp the poetic dimension of the space beyond functionality in design and to develop a designer's sensitivity in relation to its context • To be able to handle the question “What is design?”ethically and resist to the anthropocentric perspective • To understand that design is a co-construction • To be able to reveal an atmospheric relationship between the place and the subject • To make design by considering the effects of materials, context, program and companion species • To design without seeing nature as a reserve area for consumption • To be able to design structural components and details using design and manufacturing technologies and build a 1:1 scale structural system • To understand the characteristics of building systems established through material knowledge • To gain the ability to represent spatial phenomena and experiences through sketches, technical drawings, physical models • To obtain information about the content of different scales and transferring this information to representations at different scales • To deal with the plan and section arrangements of the design in a way that provides a semantic integrity with the place and the subject • To acquire the ability to analyze the context in which the architectural space is shaped, influenced and affected • To use various representation methods and mediums, and to acquire technical knowledge in order to recognize, research and document the natural and artificial environment in which the architectural space is shaped |
