The aim of the course is to produce landscape projects through studio work in line with design principles and elements and to gain design competence. It is aimed for students to determine design goals on a specific subject, to develop alternative suggestions by managing the problem-solving process, to develop landscape change and transformation scenarios, and to present their solution suggestions as a project file with 2- and 3-dimensional visualizations.

Within the scope of the Design Studio I course, general information will be given about the course's operation, scope, rules, requirements and equipment. The target design area and scale is 1/50-1/200, from residential garden to neighbourhood park. The landscape design process will be covered and in parallel with this process, course contents will be created with individual studies, homework and controls throughout the semester, from project preparation to presentation. Project production stages include current situation and environmental analysis, determination of program elements, function diagram, stain diagram, preliminary project, structural and vegetative application project, and detail projects. Students convert their completed projects into a project file and present them with appropriate presentation techniques.
