Novel Approaches to Urban Design and Architecture Education: Design Studio Practice and Pedagogy, DİNÇ KALAYCI PINAR, Editör, IGI Global, Pennsylvania, ss.34-60, 2024
Design studios are the backbone of architectural education. At Gazi University Faculty of Architecture,
the vertical studio system allows 2nd, 3rd, and 4th-year students to work together in a design studio to
learn from each other and contribute to the projects via primary literature research on design problems,
project site analysis, and site model making. Group study also contributes to program generation, primary
concept studies, sketch making, project generation, building model making, material research, 3d
visualization studies, presentation works, and final submission CAD drafting. The retrospective evaluation
of Studio Think-İmagine's design studio practices from Spring 2016 to Spring 2022 showed various subjects and projects
in different scales and programs in varying places and times. The students' projects produced within
this period proved successful and gathered recognition and rewards from national/international student
design competitions. That’s the reason these projects are called “Unprecedented Virtual-Intellectual
Representations: Thought and Imagined.”
