Course Objectives: 
The aim of this course is; to recognize and select finishing materials used in fine construction, fixed and movable furniture in interior design projects, to examine the surface and edge finishings according to the usage areas of these materials, and to teach the techniques of combining various materials with each other directly or with fittings and joints.
Course Content: 

In this course, surface treatment techniques of materials will be classified according to material types. The student will learn how to derive a unique material from a material, how to make physical changes in materials such as texture, color, etc., and the edge finishings of these materials in accordance with the interior architectural principles. Sample detail analyzes and sample scenario analyzes will be done in the courses where students can participate in the course.
