Course Objectives
Following our commitment to reach the whole through parts the studio is following the principles set in Planning Studio III. We are moving from neighbourhood to group of neighbourhoods and than to districts. 1/5000 scale can define this best as a starting point. When we advance further we start to cover Batıkent District with its relationship to urban macroform. We investigate inter urban, intra urban and urban rural relationships. 1/25.000 scale plan fits well to discover such relationships. At the final stage we will position Batıeknt in a much wider context. While discussions will focus on reginal, national and international relationships their reflection on Ankara and Batıkent will define our concentration point. We will utilise schematical represeentational techniques to respond requirements of spatial strategic plan.
Course Content
The aim of this planning studio is to give theoretical and practical skills of comprehensive planning. Hence the town in focus is studied in its regional context, its problems are depicted, its parts are defined. Finally in handling the whole, land use and transportation compatibility is searched and as far as parts are concerned design skills in shaping the urban environment are developed.

- further understand the concept of plan hierarchy and representation of plan decisions at different scales.
