Course Objectives
This course aims at promoting visual representation in two and three-dimensional mediums, thinking critically and creatively about cities, understanding the basics of cartography, advancing on the graphic models via manual and computer-aided skills. Through intriguing examples, theories, and exercises, the course aims to stimulate exploration and generate novel ideas to represent space and its place in nature. At the end of the academic year, students must have acquired skills and abilities of spatial perception, thinking in a systematic manner about space, observation of urban problems and potentials (and visually representing them), organization of physical space in 2&3D, critical thinking, basics of problem-solving and storytelling.
Course Content
The aim of CRP 102 studio is to help students to develop the notion of abstract thinking, attain an ability of representation, develop design skills and appropriate design language in order to develop basic design skills and visual culture. Exercises offered in the studio try to enable students to get acquainted with various concepts concerning order, balance, positive-negative values, three-dimensional representation etc. In CRP102, the students are asked to use the abilities gained in abstract basic design thinking to real situations, that is, space-mass relations, topography, location analysis, movement patterns, hierarchical organization and they are expected to develop methods of problem definition, formulation, analysis and design.
Course Learning Outcomes
The learning objectives of the course are:
- Integrate freehand and computer aided visual representation techniques.
- Acquire the ability to link the abstract notions with the real urban space design.
- Formulate the set of simple rules behind any design composition.
- Start to get familiar with the urban planning concepts & problems.
