Özet

Climate change and the need of new terrestrial settlements on the earth increase the interest in living above and underwater. This situation causes new needs in building types and vessels. It is anticipated that a single discipline will be insufficient in terms of education and practical application in the design of floating structures for new needs, and it is expected that the Architecture and Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Departments will come in interaction. An Interdisciplinary Project 1 course was created at Yıldız Technical University in order to bring together Architecture and Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering students on a common platform. The aim of the course is that students from both disciplines work in teams and produce projects of floating structures and vessels for the use on surface or underwater. In this study, the aim, content, application and outcomes of the course which is successfully carried out since ten semesters is presented and the contributions of the course to the teamwork, communication and design approach of the students are discussed.
