Architecture

The first part of the course involves learning the concept of real-time rendering and acquiring the necessary skills for computer-aided visualization and animation using current software programs and artificial intelligence tools. The course also aims to provide visualization skills with different artificial intelligence tools. The main software to be used in the course is Lumion, while students will also use one of the following programs in parallel: D5, Enscape, or Twinmotion. The key understanding in the course is that these computer-aided visualization programs and artificial intelligence tools are not the end goal but rather tools to convey design ideas. Students are expected to understand the logic of these programs, which have very similar interfaces. The main purpose is to learn the basic elements of architectural visualization in a way that can be used in all tools.
The second part of the course includes learning design, modeling, presentation, and analysis using RhinoCeros 3D. With 3D design and modeling, surface creation, transformation, solid model creation and algorithm-supported design and analysis will be acquired. Afterwards, parametric/algorithmic design and model will be produced by coding with artificial intelligence.
