Objectives of the Course To students; By introducing in detail the physical, mechanical, aesthetic and environmental properties of the materials used in interior design, to provide students with the ability to use these materials consciously in their designs.
Course Content The content of this course includes natural and artificial stones, wood and soil-based materials, glass, metal and binding materials. The properties of material groups, classifications, usage patterns, surface treatments, basic shaping methods, usage areas and effects on human and environmental health are discussed. Topics are reinforced with examples from architecture, interior architecture and design projects.Also examples of competent designers are given.
