Özet

In Turkey, mathematical courses as part of architectural curricula generally have a standard faculty or university curriculum, which results in a gap between the two fields. However, it is impossible to separate mathematics from architecture. This paper presents a Geometry of Design course, a specialized mathematical course for architectural students to integrate the two fields. It commences by giving an insight into the current situation in architectural departments in Turkey, then focuses on the structure and outline of the new course where each topic is discussed with selected literature and student works. Finally, this paper discusses the future possibilities and limitations of these types of specialized mathematics courses.
