ATTENDANCE POLICY
Class attendance is required. Students are also required to attend all discussion sessions. Your success
in this class will depend, to a large degree, upon your attendance and active engagement. In‐class
material will be reinforced in the required and recommended readings, and some in‐class material may
not be covered in the readings. Students are responsible for all lecture material whether or not it is
included in the assigned readings. Class attendance is required and will be monitored. Sometimes an
illness, emergency, or other circumstances may cause you to miss class. You are allowed THREE absences
for the semester. Missing extensive days results in a significant impact on your work, and to your
participation in the class. EACH ABSENCE, FOR ANY REASON (except in rare extenuating circumstances)
BEYOND THREE, WILL RESULT IN A REDUCTION OF YOUR FINAL EARNED GRADE.

Therefore, 10 points of your total score will be deducted from your final grade for each absence after
three absences. (For example, 4 absences = 10 points deducted from your total points. Five absences = 20
points deducted from your total points, etc.)
If you miss class, try to borrow a classmate's notes. The instructor will not assume responsibility for
providing class notes to you.
All exams must be taken on the dates scheduled. Students will only be permitted to take make‐up exams
in the case of medical or family emergencies, or if they are away on official university business. Late

to talk. If you cannot make my regular office hours, I am willing to meet you by appointment.
AUK HONOR CODE AND ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
The core values of The American University of Kurdistan (AUK) are learning, discovery, freedom,
leadership, individual opportunity, and responsibility. Each member of the University is expected to
uphold these values through integrity, honesty, trust, fairness, and respect toward peers and
community.
Plagiarism is the most common form of academic dishonesty. Plagiarism can be a difficult concept to
define; however, simply put, plagiarism is using other people’s ideas and words without clearly
acknowledging the source of that information. It is important to note that at the university we are
continually exposed to other’s ideas. We read ideas and words in textbooks, hear them in lectures, discuss
them in class, and incorporate them into our own writing. One must always keep in mind that you must
give credit when credit is due. In order to avoid plagiarism, you must give credit whenever you use:
∙ Another person’s idea, opinion, or theory;
∙ Any facts, statistics, graphics, visual images (i.e.: drawings, videos, etc.) that are not
common knowledge;
∙ Quotations of another person’s spoken or written words; or
∙ Paraphrase of another person’s spoken or written words.
If you are unsure about what constitutes plagiarism and academic dishonesty, or have difficulty
addressing source material in your resentations, please consult with the instructor.

1. PROBLEM DEFINITION
Cultural tradition is significant part of any county and nation on the world. Culture forms are the
basis of every national identity. It has been developed along with evolution of the man including
all spheres of his spiritual and material life and meeting various his needs. Culture includes every
material and spiritual values created by particular activities of every personality or the social
group. In word’s history there exist some particular codes revealing the ways and potencies of
human existence in the society.
Culture has been called “the way of life for an entire society”. As such, it includes code of
manners, dress, language, rituals, norms of behavior and systems of belief (Jary, 1991). In our
world of emerging cultural information and knowledge exchange, cultural center are an very
important tool for understanding different nations, their habits, cultural heritage, languages,
religion views, our nature.
A cultural center is an organization, building or complex that promotes culture and arts. Cultural
centers can be neighborhood community arts organizations, private facilities, government-
sponsored, or activist-run. One cultural center is usually owned building and operated by specific
clients-country and their ministry of foreign affairs (eg. Great Britain, Italy, France, Mexico,
Pakistan, India etc.) For this project, your problem is to design an cultural center.

2. LOCATION
Observations and analysis regarding existing building in general and the specific area designated
for the cultural center in particular are needed in order to integrate your design concept and
solution(s) to the whole context. For example, our existing building is situated in the center of
modern Ankara, very close to the old city, on the fringe of an ancient traditional suburb, Kizlay
neighborhood. The architecture of Kizlay district is typical 2nd
post-war mix of modernism and
Islamic and Ottoman traditions, large and small structures, and houses whish are structured
around regular courtyards. The district is an old, traditional suburb, built with middle-class
houses and new high-rise constructed apartment buildings in a modern planning layout.
Our particular building is located on a small plot. It was originally envisaged that the building
would have party-walls on both sides. However, the development plan for the area was altered
and the building has party wall to the west only. To the east the gabble wall of the building is
exposed. From the basement to the second floor from east to west, building is divided into few
zones. Main entrance, vertical circulation, architectural office and large outdoor space from the
both sides of the building. The building ground floor and mezzanine contains many functions
and different spaces in a small, compact volume on an urban site. The façade is dominated by the
large windows-the vertical curtain-wall surface contrast with the trellis which gives light to the
main office space. The north façade is more open, and is perforated by many windows. A
horizontal strip window express the presence of the mezzanine floor.
Whole space is voluminous (15 m high), well lit, and complex in terms of architectural design. It
is sophisticated in terms of the intricacy of its masses and volumes. It expresses the new
modernity.
3. STRUCTURE AND MATERIALS
The building-despite the complexity of its design. Is simply built with conventional contemporary
materials such as cement and reinforced concrete. The structure is of loadbearing walls and slabs with
concrete block infill. The south façade is clad with local stone. The northern façade is rendered with
cement. Other than the material used for the structural frame (stone, cement and steel), most of the
equipment was imported from Europe or other regions. The profiled aluminium windows were imported
from Lebanon. Timber, water pipes and the heating and air-conditioning systems were imported from
Germany. This creates dependence on foreign products particularly for replacement parts. The heating
and air-conditioning equipment, for example, is very complex and maintenance is costly and difficult.
Replacement pieces have to be imported from Europe what can cause delays during the reconstruction
stage.
4. CULTURAL CENTRE AND THE MAIN FUNCTIONS-SERVICES
Usually cultural center offers number of main services:
 A recognized language school (professional lecturers, constant pedagogical innovations),
 Exams Examination (diplomas and tests on acquired foreign language knowledge),
 Media outlets whose funds (physical and digital),

 Office which helps students who want to pursue their studies or research in foreign
countries.
 In addition to these services, some centers offer even more extensive services for events
and exhibitions. Indoor-outdoor.
5. USERS
Most of expected users would be young middle and upper-class people or students and
professionals. Obviously the cultural center will provide activities limited to the educated
population. The major aim of the cultural center is to spread and share foreign culture in host
country in particular. As such, the center will be well perceived by Kurdish people who, in the
majority, have a strong attitude toward foreign cultures and languages.
6. STUFF
Expected stuff and their number would be decided according to the main functions of the space.
Proposed departments and officers can be for example:
 Management: Officer for Cooperation and Culture, Director, Assistant Director,
 Communication: Graphic designer, webmaster
 Department for Art & Culture: Cultural Attaché, Deputy Director, Project Coordinator,
Project Coordinator (Art and Culture).
 Media: Media manager, child workshop work-shop officer and volunteers.
 Language Department: Coordinator of bilingual teaching, lecturers,
 Language School: Course Manager, Course and Adult Course Coordinator, Course and
Exams Coordinator for Children, Animator of children's workshops.
 Department for University and Scientific Cooperation: Coordinator of cooperation,
Student mobility coordinator, Coordinator of university and scientific cooperation
projects.
 Administrative sector. Secretary General, Regional Accountability Accountant
 As well as an information technician in charge of maintaining an information network,
two persons in charge of the maintenance of premises and security guards who care about
safety.
7. THE CULTURAL CONTEXT
The cultural context is in favor of the expression and development of objects which could appear
at the correct representation of the modern present of any country. Cultural context comes into
being when there is a common ownership-country or foreign institution of an philosophy that is
manifested in a corporate culture. In general this amounts to a cultural identity, traditional
architectural style(s)-elements, materials, colors, calligraphy, etc. Cultural context has to
visualize and solve: National and educational behavior (traditional values, norms etc.). Corporate
design (logos, corporate colors etc.). Corporate communication (advertising, public relations,
information etc.)
The cultural centers worldwide are huge network and their mission is to build new roads between

their and host countries through culture, education, innovation and knowledge The cultural and
educational operators are usually Embassy’s whish realizes projects in the fields of art , culture ,
teaching and promotion their languages , higher education and research , and is also dedicated to
youth , cultural and social innovations , as well as debates on many great contemporary topics
(environment, social and territorial cohesion, gender equality issues).
In your project, you will study, understand and interpret the cultural identity of the selected countries,
and then represent your interpretations in your project by means of design tools such as concept, forms,
materials, details etc.
You will choose one of countries as the owner of your cultural center, and after completing a
thorough research and analysis, you are supposed to draw some key issues regarding the cultural
identity that you are assumed to reflect in your concept and design development.
Some of suggested owners-countries for your cultural center are:
Great Britain, Italy, France, Spain, Pakistan, India, Japan, Cuba, Morocco, Egypt, etc.
8. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
Proposed interior space is approximately 1200 m2, including existing basement, ground floor and
mezzanine. Outdoor space(s) are on the north and southern side of the building, approximately 600 m2.
Capacity of visitors on daily range is estimated from 500 to 1000.
1- The entrance hall: Reception-Information desk (electronic boards, screens etc.)
* giving the first impression of the cultural identity and solved circulation with clear and well-designed
signage in the terms of graphic design.
2- The lecture-multipurpose hall: Providing a variety of activities for educational activities.
3-Classrooms: Providing a variety of activities for educational activities, Language testing, short-term
waiting designed for people of various profiles (e.g. children corner for work-shops, etc.).
4-Exhibition area: Exhibition mobile systems, Lighting fixtures & systems, etc.
5-Mini restaurant & cafeteria: Seating, reading, eating, resting, wireless communication, other
proposed activities, etc.
6-Library: Storage, Shelving units, Media facilities, Digitalization equipment, etc.
7- Offices: According to your departments and number of stuff, Photo-copy corner, Meeting room,

8- Service areas: WC- unisex (disabled accessible), Service kitchen; Snacks and beverages-bar.
9-Outdoor areas: Space for lectures, concerts, exhibitions or other cultural events. As well as, outdoor
seating, resting units, sun-screening solutions, landscaping, proper plant choice, etc.

You need to design the whole space of cultural center with existing mezzanine level of no more than 1/3
of the given total floor area. Keep in mind that both the visual and functional relation within two levels
are of great importance.
Requirements for special issues on acoustics, fire safety, furnishing and details will be discussed in the
stage after the Pre-Jury I.

RESEARCH
The following are the research subjects to be presented in the studio prepared individually. Research
work will be prepared in two formats:
1. Power Point Presentation to be presented to the class individually.
2. A3 booklet including a brief summary of your research presented in a more visual form
(graphics, sketches, diagrams…) to be hanged on classroom walls, since you are assumed to get
benefit from these works throughout your project development.
3. Oral Presentation of each student will be limited to 15-20 min.
RESEARCH TOPICS
1. Countries and their cultural identity: Choose just one country and identify its cultural identity. Try to
analyze and represent the cultural context of those countries, history, geography and language.
Traditional and contemporary architecture of those countries: geometry, patterns, color scheme, religious
views. Some of suggested countries are: Great Britain, Italy, France, Spain, Pakistan, India, Japan, Cuba,
Morocco, Mexico, Egypt, etc.
2. Cultural identity in interior design (national or international example): find one national example
of cultural centres in Kurdistan Region, or one international example (from abroad) and analyze their
effort to emphasize ‘cultural identity’ in the design process. Try to examine how these projects have
managed to express ‘cultural identity’ successfully, analyze in terms of structural organization, forms,
materials, details, color schemes etc. Good international examples in terms of interior design and
functionality are: Instituto Cervantes (Spain), British Council (UK), Institut français (France), Goethe
Institut (Germany).
Research should not be limited to a collection of pictures, therefore please analyze your findings in order
to draw a summary to present, that includes the most striking issues in that particular example. Try to
approach critically; each example might have well resolved solutions as well as lacking conditions.
In general:
 Do not limit your research to internet only,
 Try to have a coherent outline composed of introduction, development and conclusion. At the
conclusion, add your own synthesis, ideas and opinions.
 Do not include everything you find, but be selective while choosing the essential points for your
presentation.
 Refer to “academic research” standards! (Footnotes, references etc.)

Monday, we ask you to take a further step, and develop a bubble diagram and space allocation on
an A1 sheet, considering the project brief and our discussions about concept pin-up sessions.
You are already familiar with the concept of 'bubble diagram', but we think the following link
might be helpful anyway (it is a paid source, but the beginning is provided for free, which is
quite explanatory by its own).
http://study.com/academy/lesson/bubble-diagrams-in-architecture-interior-design.html
Please consider adding a legend in light of your functional/spatial classifications with references
to the line types, colors, shapes, etc. that you use in your diagrams.
Also include 4 freehand drawn sketches of your overall concept (space). With Notes! Try to
define the capacity of your cultural center .e.g. for 40, 50, 60 people. Who is the user? Age,
gender, status? Circulation ? Stuff facilities!
Requirements:
1. Initial Design Idea
2. Bubble Diagram(s)

Conclusion
During the spring semester 2019 students demonstrated independent achievement of all planed outcomes.
The course, Studio IV Commercial 2, has allowed students to have new insights and creativity into the field
of public space and to understand relationship between indoor and outdoor space. The task involved
design of particular public space, Cultural Centre, with the purpose of showing cultural identity of one
chosen country and in the same time taking care of the main functions and requirements.
Thanks to precise instructions and a series of lectures, students showed good knowledge of the matter.
Especially in solving the circulation and main functions. The use of finishing materials was a problem, as
also resolving configuration levels in the exterior-outdoor space. The weakest point of students are still a
technical drawing and detail drawing in scale less than 1:10.
In general, students have shown satisfactory results in independent design thinking, especially in the field
of usage of appropriate technical solutions.
For distribution of teaching material, lectures, references and media sources I used my personal Edublogs-
