Learning Through Graphic Communication on The Verge Of Digital Era/Dijital Çağın Eşiğinde Grafik İletişim Yoluyla Öğrenme

Özetİçinde buluduğumuz dönemde, sayısal ve mimari düşüncenin, akademik ve pratik alanlarda, farklı kavramlarolarak ele alınmadığı; hatta bu kavramların, söz konusu alanlarda, birbirlerinin yerini alabilecek şekilde kullanıldığıve düşünüldüğünü görüyoruz. Pratik ve teorik alandaki bu kavramsal kaosun uzuntasının tasarım stüdyoeğitimini etkileyerek bir değişime neden olduğunu söyleyebiliriz. Tartışma, mimarlık bilgisinin kağıt üzerindekitemsiliyetinden çok, bu bilginin sayısal temsiliyeti üzerine yoğunlaşmaktadır. Burada, zorlayıcı nokta, mimarlıkbilgisini, sayısal ortamdaki temsiliyetinden kaynaklandığı düşünülmektedir. Bu nedenle, yanıtlanması gerekenönemli sorulardan biri ‘sayısal ortam yoluyla’ üretilen bilginin ne tür bir bilgi olduğu ve bu bilginin nasılüretildiği üzerinedir. Bunu anlayabilmek üzere, bu araştırma kapsamında, bu bilginin üretildiği ve karşılıklıpaylaşıldığı stüdyo ortamında, ‘teknik çizim stüdyo’, mimarlık 3. sınıf öğrencileri ile dönem boyunca yapılançalışmalar ele alınmıştır. Bu şekilde, sayısal ortam yolu ile ortaya konan (elde edilen) ‘mimarlık bilgisi’ni anlamayaışık tutacağı düşünülmektedir.

AbstractToday, architectural and computational knowledge are not performed as different medias in both academic environmentsand practice. The evolution of design knowledge and praxis compels studio education and representationto change.Not completing the argument of paper representation of architecture/architectural knowledge we are discussingdigital/computational representation of it. Certainly, the most challenging point is derived from the representationof architectural knowledge in artificial media. The root of the problem lies in the nature of architecturalknowledge and its representation. Still the representation argumentations are in progress on the other handwe are struggling to go one level forward from using computers just as a design partners. Since, the adaptationof digital thinking and design has already started. As a result of these changes, design studio practice has beenevolving towards this digital medium.In this route we have many questions waiting to be answered. One of the most interesting issues is the knowledgethat is produced throughout the digital media. The question of how design learning system has been evolvingworth searching on it. The context of the question is broad however the works about the subject can be examinedwithin the course framework. The main aim is not to answer the question but to be aware of the implementationsand their possible results that might lead us different perspectives.
