Programs that can take the course
This course consists ofexercises and applications covering architectural abstraction methods (such as sketching, readings related to the site and/or structure), architectural representation techniques (fieehand, scaled and unscaled perspective presentations, architectural and graphic layouts), digital design methods such as CAD, conventional representation and presentation technjques, scientific iesearch methods, media management and presentation, and an introduction to AI-supported research techniques. The aim ofthe course is to develop first-year architecture students' visual-spatial thinking and perception skills, as well also enhance their abilities to use design tools, media, and methods, and to strengthen their research and thinking competencies. Bu the end of the course , students will have learned that there are verious tools and media through which they can express what they imagine and will be able to use these at a basic level; they will be able to produce presentations that incorporate verious modes of representation and expression, develop and explain their designs using both digital and traditioanl methods and acquire basic skills in computer-based design, modeling and AI supported research.

To develop the visual-spatial thinking and perception skills of the first year architecture students.
Using design tools, environments and methods to improve research and thinking skills.
1. Students learn that there are different tools and media through which they can convey their imagination and can use these tools and media at a basic level.
2. Produce presentations including different forms of expression and expression.
3. Are able to develop and explain their designs using digital and traditional methods, tools and media.
4. Gain basic design and modelling skills in computer environment and artificial intelligence supported research skills.
