    Mimari Habitusun Eşiği Olarak İlk Yıl Mimari Tasarım Stüdyoları
    (Middle East Technical University, 2021) Çil, Ela; Demirel Özer, Sinem
    This study considers the first year design studio, not only as an environment in which knowledge and skills about the profession are transferred, but also as a threshold where students move into a new culture of values and ideas specific to the discipline. The inter-studio interaction between the instructor and the student, which stands out as the basic strategy of studio instructions, plays a critical role in the socialization of students into a new culture. This article is sharing a portion of a research, which is conducted in the architecture faculties of 14 universities in Turkey, and it enables us to discuss the interaction and cultural adaptation taking place in the studio. One of the highlights in the results of the research is the difference between the experience and evaluation of the studio's main objectives from the perspective of instructors and students. This difference sheds light on how the values that are thought to be conveyed in the studio are actually understood by the students. The concept of habitus, which Pierre Bourdieu points out as the limits of action in a culture that are almost beyond the grasp of the consciousness of the members of that culture, and Jacques Ranciere's and Paulo Freire's critical approaches to current pedagogical systems outline the theoretical framework within which we discuss our findings. In addressing architectural education as a form of cultural policy, our goal is to confront the uncertainty that characterizes the first year design studio and create a sphere to debate the challenges that the first year studio culture poses for students and instructors.

    Architectural Design Students' Explorations Through Conceptual Diagrams
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2013) Doğan, Fehmi
    Views of creativity highlight the importance of incubation or the significance of sketching as a means of seeing emergent properties. Both views put design students at a disadvantage. This study investigates the strengths and weaknesses of an alternative approach to design education, in which students were asked to develop a design idea through conceptual diagrams. This study investigates how conceptual diagrams might help architectural students to see the relationships between concepts and space and coordinate their dual development through conceptual diagrams. The study presents the development of the ideas of 13 second-year architectural students. Students' logbooks, together with their midterm and final review presentations, were studied to determine whether students drew any conceptual diagrams, whether they were instrumental in spatial organization, and how they introduced changes during the design process. The findings showed that this particular design education approach helped students start the design process and stay focused throughout the design process.
