Yeni Avrupa Bauhaus Hareketi Kapsamında İç Mimarlık Eğitimi ve Deneyim Odaklı Malzeme Öğrenimi

Abstract

In line with the innovative and sustainability goals of the New European Bauhaus (NEB) movement, the study aims to examine the impact of experience-oriented practices in the process of theoretical and practical knowledge acquisition in the context of material learning in interior architecture education. In interior architecture education curriculum, material courses are included in the building courses group. Material learning is related to the building courses group. The focus of the study is to investigate how the applied learning that existed in Bauhaus is maintained in the interior architecture departments of NEB partner universities today and its impact on students in terms of material learning. Action research method was adopted as the method in the study. In the research, firstly, the educational approach of the NEB movement is explained by scanning the Bauhaus' educational approach in the literature. The content and application methods of materials courses were analyzed through the interior architecture departments of NEB partner universities. In Turkey, the materials courses of accredited interior architecture departments were analyzed in terms of their content. A modular education model focused on materials learning was created to cover the axis of building courses in the interior architecture curriculum. In the education model, a course content plan was prepared by specializing on the structure and materials course, which is the first step of the material learning process. Two workshops were designed to fit into the course content plan. Within the scope of the semester course content plan, the workshops were implemented with second year student groups under the supervision of the course instructor in the undergraduate program of the Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design at TOBB University of Economics and Technology. The data obtained from the applications were analyzed in detail on the basis of theme and content. Material learning in interior architecture education is related to the building courses group. The study emphasizes the importance of an experience-oriented modular approach in which material knowledge is integrated into building axis courses. Thus, in addition to the types and physical properties of the material, an awareness can be gained in terms of material selection within the scope of sustainable design targeted by NEB.
