______________________________________________________________________________
Department: Interior Architecture and Environmental Design

Credits: Bilkent 3, ECTS 4

Course Coordinator: Sinia Prvanov

Semester: 2017-2018 Spring

Contact Hours: 2 hours of lecture per week, 6 hours of Lab/Studio/Others per week

Text and Other Required Material:

Online and printed material related to the most important topics will be provided by instructors first week
of the course

Catalog Description:
This course offers a unique knowledge that will prepare designers for the specific issues associated with
designing passenger boats and yacht interiors. In this course, special attention is given to international
standards about safety, noise and vibrations, ergonomics and universal design principles for passenger
boats and spaces. Basic ideas include the concept of movement, balance and velocity; efficient use of
space; and detailing and application of new systems in the marine environment. The course will also trace
the most common errors in boat design and offers advanced knowledge of contemporary materials and
their application methods. Students will acquire familiarity with various types of boats; they will know how
to efficiently use, in the interior project, the proper CAD tools, going through the calculation of the boats
structure, of the applicable powers and through the study of the most efficient equipment. Students will be
able to express an outstanding operational versatility and autonomy, optimizing their own professional
chances.
