With his model students analyze the concept of space from the written materials in a diverse historical perspective. The main aim of the study is to increase the awareness of “Space” with new context, concept, design tools and design methods. A medium for discussion is developed through the design problems and studio works. Design problems are enhanced with the conceptual and formal space experiences.
