Course Purpose and Content

Course Objectives: The aim of the course is to explain parametric relationships in form, space and structure design, and to enable students to gain the ability to create an architectural fiction based on parameters in the design processes, with the help of computers. In this process, it is aimed to teach up-to-date software by using computers.
Course Content: The content of the course includes algorithmic and parametric design; interpreting architectural design information in an algorithmic flow with the help of parameters; It consists of constructing the components that create the product and the relationship between the components in the computer environment during the design process. In this course, many parametric design products at different scales are examined to understand the design process and to reveal the parametric model of the examples. At the end of the course, students create a parametric design process to create their own designs with the help of software.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Being able to express the design problem with an algorithmic flow by constructing it with the help of parameters
2) Gaining the ability to design forms, spaces or structures that are flexible and based on parameters
