BASICS OF DESIGN

This course is the introduction to the basic concepts and principles of design. It comprises specific exercises, including brainstorming steps, to develop mental and manual skills to cope with design problems and to establish visual values for structuring and articulating two and three dimensional spatial compositions in different media.

The main purpose of the course is to present students design tools and design principles of organization. Students are expected to transfer them into different steps by adding their identical peculiarities. By this way, students can perceive their rights, responsibilities in designing with the problems in a sequence to gain a consciousness about the subject matters, their role in their professional life and create abstract foundations fit to any case.

 IMPORTANT!!!

Participation in all Reviews, One-Day Sketch Exam, Mid-Term, Pre-Final and Final Juries  is  OBLIGATORY.

In case of NON-ATTENDANCE in any of them (Sketch Exam, Mid-Term Jury or pre-final jury), an `NG` as a final grade is inevitable.   

In case of NON-ATTENDANCE in Reviews, the allocated grade percentages will be LOST  But still this does not mean that students can ignore the materials required for the missing review, on the contrary they are expected to present them next to the others during the following review.

 ALL THE REQUIRED MATERIAL MUST BE SUBMITTED DURING THE REVIEWS, MID-TERM, PRE FINAL AND FINAL JURIES.  IF NOT, STUDENTS WILL NOT BE EVALUATED AND WILL BE CONSIDERED AS “ABSENT” (NOT ATTENDED THE JURY)

ALL STUDENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE TO PINUP THEIR PROJECTS BEFORE THE START OF THE REVIEW OR JURY SESSION
