Objectives of the Course

The aim of this course is to provide the students with the knowledge of transition from two-dimensional concepts to three-dimensional concepts and advanced applications in order to understand the elements of design on a visual and auditory level, to read them as a new alphabet and to produce new solutions.

Course Content

Transition from two-dimensional design to three-dimensional design throughout the semester, ergonomics, usability, etc. work on dimensions will be made. These studies will be carried out in the form of sets consisting of homework, workshop practice and repetitions within a reinforced system. The mid-term and final exams will be held against the jury of the department in certain contexts.
