Abstraction which can be defined
as a conceptual process, is one of the most difficult challange for
architecture students. While developing their own methods to understand this
concept they mostly prefer verbal language. However, since architecture is more
of a visual discipline, it is essential to produce new methods for students to
visualize their verbal language skills. While this study teaches the methods of
visualizing abstract concepts, it also ensures to transfer the information from
architectural structures into new design organizations. The study was applied
to undergraduate architecture students within the scope of applied design
courses. The students first analyzed the selected architects and their
buildings and then they produce new arrangements linking with these styles. The
analysis phase is divided into two parts as conceptually and visually: firstly,
literary and visual document research and observation sketches are made in
order to have information about the architectural context, and then these
concepts are conveyed visually by using Bauhaus basic design principles (line,
color and texture). As a result; a unique method of linking the architectural
knowledge with new design product in the light of design principles and
concepts, has been produced. With this method, students gain the ability to
understand, interpret and reproduce theoretical knowledge by using
"Conceptual Thinking" as a tool in the current architectural
environment.
