Basic design can be evaluated as an introductory course to architectural and design education by serving as a common ground where field specific knowledge and skills would be founded on. It is the course where students are encountered with the phenomenon of design. Design based disciplines are divided into subfields such as industrial design, graphic design, interior design, etc. because of being a comprehensive field. Furthermore, disciplines such as architecture, city and regional planning and landscape architecture also concerns with design issues. Despite these disciplines generate different outputs in terms of scale and scope, their education contains similar basic design courses focusing mainly on the understanding of common design principles. Being a researcher and instructor who teach basic design to the departments of industrial design, architecture and city and regional planning, many similarities and differences have been observed. Presenting these similarities and differences and expressing the perspectives of different disciplines to basic design education would be valuable in terms of the transfer of knowledge. Therefore, this paper serves as an introduction and comparison of the approaches, projects and syllabus of the basic design course within the departments of industrial design, architecture and city and regional planning. The deductions and presentations of this paper might serve as an introduction for the instructors in terms of seeing how other disciplines approach to basic design and might enable them to take credit for enhancing their basic design course.
