| Contents of the Course:
The course consists of 5 main parts that follow each other.
? First part; It includes knowledge of geometry, Euclidean geometry, Non-Euclidean geometries and relations between architecture and geometry.
? Second part; It includes teaching Euclidean curves, Bezier, B-Spline and NURBS, respectively.
? The third chapter is the continuation of the curve?s topic. This section includes basic surface classifications, geometric analysis of surfaces, geometrical construction methods of surfaces and surface issues in architecture.
? The fourth chapter is the form subject that follows curves and surfaces. This section includes the method of designing forms of Euclidean geometry, the method of creating forms through actions, and the methods of designing forms of non-Euclidean geometries in digital environment.
? The fifth chapter includes a study covering all semester topics.
In the first 4 chapters, Rhinoceros Grasshopper parametric design software is also taught from the geometry knowledge framework described.
