TOWARDS CREATIVE CRITIQUE: A PROPOSAL FOR A CRITICAL COURSE IN INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE EDUCATION
Abstract
This study highlights the importance of criticism in the practice and education of interior design. Unlike other disciplines related to the visual arts, the fact that the discipline of interior architecture has not developed a separate and distinct intellectual whole with its own rules has affected the place of criticism in both the profession and education. Therefore, in order to be a step towards the elimination of these deficiencies, different approaches that could be a source for the development of interior architecture criticism have been studied. These approaches have been re-evaluated, taking into account the requirements of interior design itself, and an exemplary model of interior architecture criticism has been created. Criticism in interior architecture education, which is another important issue addressed by the study, has an important potential to train qualified designers who examine the basic dynamics of the profession and have a critical perspective. Therefore, the existence of a critique course, which can analyze design studies in a contextual framework, is not seen as a common educational necessity. In this context, a proposal for a critique course consisting of 4 modules has been prepared for the 4th year of undergraduate interior architecture education, using this model critique. Due to the course proposal developed, it is expected that the students will have a better command of the design process as a result of examining the meaning and requirements of interior spaces with different methods. Through the applications made in the course, it is intended to provide students with the ability to consider space from all aspects. As a result, it aims to contribute to the formation and development of the critical culture necessary to define the boundaries of the discipline, the development of the profession and the field of application.
