In Architectural Design Studio IV, the aim is to discuss spatial analyses, conceptual studies and the background thoughts underlying the architectural product, and to enable students to gain the skill to integrate environmental data and information on simple structural systems by means of the design of a single building which comprises non-complex programs and which is located in the urban context.

Teaching Methods and Techniques
As a method, architectural consciousness regarding the relationship between nearby environment activities and the program is tried to be raised up by making spatial analyses in the context of place, geography and daily life. During the design process, taking decisions on spatial organization, on the selection of simple structural systems and materials, developing an architectural design comprising non-complex programs in the urban context, and explaining design approaches in the context of close environment with computer aided presentations, images, models and/or sketches are expected from the students.
Students are encouraged to participate actively in the studio process as individuals or team members. Sharing all studies in the discussion platform created in the studio and being subject to debate and criticism helps to develop students’ communication skills. Attending architectural conferences, reading and writing architectural texts, develops reading and writing skills in the context of design. It is important to create an awareness of contemporary world architecture in relation to ideas, space and practice.
