Course Objectives Taking the human kind at the center, the course focuses on the relationships between culture, art, architecture, technology and design over history
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Will be able to learn about art, design, technology, and architectural history
  • Will be able to learn about art, design, architecture, technology, and the history of architecture and its contributors
  • will have the opportunity to participate in academic discussions on art, design, architecture, technology, and architectural historiography.
  • Will be able to apply the knowledge they have acquired in their own independent research.
  • Develop their oral and written presentation skills while presenting their research.
Course Description Each of the fields of art, design, technology, and architecture have their own internal dynamics, and understanding these phenomena contributes to developing individual understanding. The broad cultural and historical context in which work in these fields takes place should be considered apart from the internal development seen in each discipline, in which generations compete with and react to their predecessors. The course will also cover leading ideas and thinkers who have sought ways to relate different historical processes. The period will begin with the study of publications of art historians such as Panofsky and Gombrich as a traditional form of research in the field of art history. In the second half of the term, how contemporary historians' research on design, technology, culture and architecture will be evaluated.
