The first Session consists of analytical and explorative approaches to study a landscape -an abandoned quarry site in the METU campus. Various lyric, ethical, conceptual and technical modes are used every week. These modes are different filters through which the site will be sifted. Deep and thorough "questive" and explorative studies are the fundamental activities of this session to measure, to listen, to read and to record the site.
Students are also required to pick a real character from life, perhaps a famous figure with a specific personality. The figure's characteristic quality to be briefly dramatized and represented in this session.

The second session consists of primarily interpretation and combination of both works of the first session. The students are expected to complete the semester with a creative, intuitive and poetic proposal for the named personality's characteristic use in the rediscovered quarry landscape and its surroundings. The product could be a spatial or visual work of design. Abstractive yet sensational approaches are encouraged along with functional proposals. Essentially, the minds of the designer students are the melting pot for the site and the human's presence. Students' individual backgrounds and their gifts are additive assets for the creation process.

Weekly drawings, models and alternative fabrications are required. More than two site visits during the semester at different times of the day are recommended. Long, physical and painstaking hiking and site visits are essential parts of the first five weeks of this course.
