Course Description
This course aims to synthesise the occupational knowledge gained in the theoretical disciplines and the actual application. Students are provided with the awareness and ability of integrating the environmental, spatial, structural, functional and aesthetical decisions that are essential for the construction of a building in a holistic manner. Within this context, it is aimed to encourage students to search and to create their own solutions according to their project proposals. The course deals with the application drawings of the completed architectural project in detail and the expression and presentation techniques and standards that are applied in harmony with the working stages. Within this process, it is also expected to equip students with professional practice.
