Housing projects assigned in architecture design studio are considered as an exercise having several pedagogical objectives which constitute a suitable ground of maturation for students after completing their first and second year design studio. The aim of the research is to make an overview of the way housing design projects are conducted in the third year architectural design studio at the Middle East Technical University Department of Architecture, focusing on the last five years in particular. But in the first place, the background of housing assignments is reviewed in order to understand how teaching methods and problem definitions have evolved in the past. The objectives and the learning outcomes expected from these studio exercises, the approaches and tendencies that determine the way the project exercises are examined and lastly the teaching methods, strategies and tools are studied depending on the written and visual documents related to the studio works and interviews with the studio critics.

Performative design thinking in architectural practice Ataman, Cem; Gürsel Dino, İpek; Department of Architecture (2018) During the last decades, the increasing need to ensure building performance during architectural design practices has led to highly interactive relations between architecture and various other disciplines, in which performance concepts are tightly integrated into the building design process. Computational tools supporting performative architectural design processes make this interdisciplinary integration possible. The critical consequence of the early consideration of performative principles and the collabo...
Teaching Architectural Design Through Creative Practices Lizondo-Sevilla, Laura; Bosch-Roig, Luis; Ferrer-Ribera, Carmen; Alapont-Ramon, José Luis (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2019-9-25) This article provides investigation details of teaching architectural design as a fundamental part of the architectural discipline. This line of research delves into learning about the most creative action of the architectural production process, design, taking into account that creativity must be complemented by disciplinary training that combines both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Considering these observations, this text provides information about the experience accomplished by four teacher...
Teaching Architectural Design Studio Remotely: The Introduction to Architectural Design Course at METU Kömez Dağlıoğlu, Esin; Pinar, Ekin; Gürsel Dino, İpek; Yoncacı Arslan, Pelin; Baş Bütüner, Funda (2020-12-01) This paper aims to briefly assess the potentials and limits of online learning environment for studio education by focusing on the case of 2019-20 spring semester studio of Introduction to Architectural Design course at Middle East Technical University’s Department of Architecture. As a transitory course between basic design principles and architectural design, Introduction to Architectural Design addresses the issues of site, program, structure, form, and material in reference to small sca...
The Redesign Studio: An Intensive Evidence-Based Approach for Ideating Product and UX/UI Improvements Pedgley, Owaın Francıs; Şener Pedgley, Bahar (2022-09-08) This paper describes a six-week design studio that set out to make ‘redesign’ an educationally rewarding activity, whilst developing students’ skills in evidence-based designing. Final year industrial design undergraduates chose a personally owned household electrical or electronic product that they considered in need of improving or updating. The redesign studio guided students through five consecutive stages of briefings, activities, and critiques: (i) product anatomy analysis and part labelling, (ii) mar...
The building performance of the metro station buildings' entrances Aksoy, Gökhan; Erman, Ercüment; Department of Architecture (2003) Station buildings are the most significant components of metro systems that combine underground facilities to the outer world, and include public life in itself. Thus, it is the main objective of that research, to put forward an acknowledgement documentation, which identifies the main design and construction problems of existing and under construction metro station buildings9 entrances, and which comes up with solutions to these problems. In the scope of thesis, foremost, basic terminology about station bui...
