Building 108 course aims to understand the structural elements that make up the space and to reproduce them in an original way. How structural elements such as floor, surface and cover can be transformed into specialised parts of the building such as flooring, walls and eaves are investigated and discussed. In the MIM 108 course, the design of space develops in the context of the triple relationship between structural tools and ‘actions’. Designers design and structurally produce their spaces through various actions and different contexts.

1. Designers firstly understand that the original production of simple structural elements of the building is a design problem. They understand what the distance between imagination and its architectural reality entails. They comprehend the conditions of producing a space, shaping matter and establishing the structural integrity of actions through space. They design and produce the structural components of the space in parts and ultimately create the structural and design combination defined as ‘Spatial Wholeness’.
2. Designers acquire a perspective that the whole that will arise from the coming together of the structural parts that they begin to discuss and understand can create a spatial originality.
3. They comprehend how the conceptual and practical knowledge discussed and produced in the context of ‘design genes’ and the concept of ‘Making’ can be used in the production of space in the context of the discussion of ‘Architectural tectonics’.
4. Designers learn what architectural tectonics involves in the field of design.
5. Discover the knowledge of materials and construction and the conceptual and practical methods of producing space in the process of ‘learning by doing’.
