Interior Design Philosophy

This course is thought to be a contribution to the study of Philosophy of Design. In it, a critical overview is taken of the structure and dynamics of design theory. This overview leads to a method to assist with the critical analysis of design theories and their associated concepts. If ‘design theory’ is considered as an artefact to be designed, this course’s role is in the part of the design process often called ‘problem analysis’. Supporting what is presented in this course is an assumption that the act of designing by human agents is central to the academic study of design. This theoretical standpoint, that what is described as design, always implicates humans, together with the understanding that any theory, theorising or theory interpretation has meaning only in a human context, is the basis for the analysis of the issues addressed in the course. The course addresses the position of the interior designer in the society and relation of design to the humanities, social sciences, and natural/physical sciences. Interaction with disciplines are emphasized. Introduction to significant theories concerning the interaction of people and interior architectural space. Students survey both substantive and normative theories, philosophies and doctrines of design and explore their influences. With the help of readings, lectures, guest lecturers, and in-class discussion, students are habituate to think in regards to developing methods for philosophical considerations both in the field of design in general and in interior design in particular. This interactive course encourages students to articulate philosophies based upon facts and use them as a central component of generating their own design solutions.

Contemporary Construction Techniques and Materials

In the past, the architectural options were ofen limited to local materials and traditional methods of working. But over recent decades the globalisation of trade plus global communications and transport logistics networks have change the situation  drastically. For the architects and interior designers, the search for the “perfect” materials has becomes very important subject.
Discovery of the new technologies and transfer of existing materials to other contexts are two principles for the research on innovative materials. Each innovative materials has assets and disadvantages. The process of selecting the right interior materials should cover the aspects of health and safety codes, economic criteria, environmental criteria, installation information, industry standards and regulations.
The aim of this  course is to help the interior designers select the suitable innovative materials and installation techniques in terms of the factors mentioned above.

Colour and Lighting for Interiors

Studies of psychological and physiological effects of color and light in the built environment are addressed within the content of e course. Light as a form determinant of interior space is emphasized. Studio/lecture presentations are planned where focus on design principles in lighting; lighting quality; and relationship between color and light within the general conception of interior atmosphere are questioned. Introduction to artificial illumination design; lighting design based upon critical awareness of the luminous environment, and principles and perception of light are targeted. Meanwhile the strong interaction between light and color are addressed. Students learn to apply criteria related to human activity and environmental psychology in the development of appropriate color suggestion and lighting strategies. Emphasis is placed on the understanding and application of quality of light, as well as the development of calculation methods, lighting and reflected ceiling plans, and lighting specifications. Students also compile a color and lighting notebook for future reference. Basics of color theory; some different approaches to designing with color; color-coding; constructing color schemes; and color`s relation to emotion are forming the main headings about the section of color. The format is supported by exercises in color and lighting design based on student design solutions.

Sustainability in Interior Design

The course provides an in-depth exploration of the methods, processes and materials used to create sustainable, environmentally friendly, user satisfied interiors. By integrating considerations of sustainability with the principles of design,  aesthetics, function, comfort and culture, the course enables students to make sustainability possible and attractive in interior design by creating/interpreting spaces that are as comfortable as they are healthy, energy and resource efficient, functional and aesthetically pleasing, by promoting the well-being of their occupants as well as the environment. Also, the investigation of sustainability in Interior Design necessitates the exploration of sustainability within the concerns of user participation-user satisfaction, flexibility in design for future adaptability. Also, the role of the client and his participation to the process together with the necessities of functional, aesthetical and cultural dimensions of design will be questioned within norms of sustainability. Through readings, field trips, site visits, guest lecturers, and in-class discussion, students gain valuable information about sustainable materials, products, and methods for construction and interior applications.

Interior Space and Form

Within the context of this course, the internal space, a representative of the image of user’s spirit, that wraps our existence, is described and interpreted through functional activity requirements and discussed relationships between the architectural form and internal architectural space. Besides defining the elements of the internal space theoretically, the space and form, bounding space will be analyzed in depth. The relationship between space and form in architecture can be defined at different scales.  At this point, space-form affiliation is considered at internal space scale. In addition to the necessities of use, such architectural forms are also objectified models of the ideas about the physical, spiritual and symbolic aspects of life and environment. The space – form evaluation which engages sophisticated parameters in its structure, requires to be perceived and evaluated in a holistic manner.  The main target of this course is to interpret and evaluate the space within the context of form in order to strengthen the theories mentioned through design exercises.

Controlling Moisture Movement in Building

Protecting a building from moisture damage is just as important as protecting it from fire and structural failure. However moisture damage often happens undetected, which allows it to continue until serious problems occur. Moisture can degrade a building’s envelope and structure, leading to a variety of problems from less severe appearance issues, like efflorescence and spalling, to serious problems like structural failure and mold growth. There are many different methods available for moisture to enter a building. This course is designed to heighten the student’s understanding of  these methods, sources and causes of moisture together with design strategies that can be applied to manage moisture in the building envelope.

Modular coordination or MC is a dimensional system. It is a dimension and space coordination concept in which building and components are placed at their designations based on the unit or basic module known as "1M" that equals to 100 mm.
The use of MC is an important factor in  effective applications as it completes the industry through quality control and increase of productivity. Standardisation is the key factor for mass-production. By this way, the relation between design, construction and production can have a spatial and dimensional coordination with each other by using modular coordination.
The course will be based on two stages. The first stage will be understanding  the terms and principles of:  industrial structure, standardisation, module, modular coordination, and spatial organization. The second stage will be based on the evaluation of the relations between structural and environmental elements of the industrial structure developed by the modular coordination principles.
