An Analytical Re- Assessment of Introductory Design in Architectural Education Guita Farivarsadri (Aviral) Ph.D in A.D.A Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Mustafa Pultar February 1998 Introductory design, as the initial step in architectural education, is of crucial importance. In this course students are supposed to acquire values, knowledges and skills which create a basis for further levels of their professional education. A holistic, human-centered approach to introductory design education aims at providing students with an insight into the context and complexities of architectural design, and their future responsibilities in the very beginning of architectural education. This thesis creates a framework for the assessment of such an introductory design education. A study of different dimensions of this education and a critical analysis of current approaches, creates a basis for proposing a framework for a holistic, human-centered approach. In this critical analysis, the objectives, objects, methods and management of introductory design education are considered in relation to its ideological, sociological, epistemological and pedagogical dimensions. Keywords: Introductory Design, Architectural Education, Basic Design.
