Course Description
Within the scope of the course, basic concepts of space design are discussed. In order to strengthen the student's design communication, presentation sheet preparation methods are discussed, and in this direction, building and interior space readings are made. Within the scope of space, ergonomics, built-in furniture, kitchen, wet areas (bathroom-wc) concepts are detailed, discussed through sample projects, and drawing is done in the classroom through sample applications. By drawing, the concept of scale and the process of getting used to the language of drawing are observed. The development of visual design languages is ensured through the presentation methods of the required assignments.

Course Objectives
The aim of this course is to recognize the definition and elements of interior design space and to comprehend the criteria that make them up. Lectures and discussions will take place face to face in a studio environment. It helps students develop an awareness of the basic principles of space design by examining projects that go down to the scale of interior space.
Course Outcomes
1. Acquires SPACE READING skills within the scope of design communication.
2. Gains a CRITICAL PERSPECTIVE on SPACE INTERPRETATION skills.
3. Gains awareness of the TECHNICAL (scale) requirements for developing communication and expression skills.
4. Gains awareness of the TECHNICAL (ergonomics) requirements for people in the interior space.
5. Gains awareness of the TECHNICAL requirements for human and built environment in interior space.
