In Architectural Design Studio III, the characteristics of the natural and built environment related with the site and their interrelationship are analysed by means of the design of a single building which contains non-complex programs. The aim is to emphasize the importance of cultural data, the relationship of nearby environment, activities, and the program, and the background ideas underlying the architectural product in the design process.

As a method, an architectural consciousness regarding the relationship between the nearby environment, activities and the program is tried to be raised by making spatial analyses in the context of place, geography and daily life.
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.
