Architecture is the process of designing and implementing settlements—ranging from individual buildings to the urban scale—whilst taking into account the physical environment, technology and the structure of society. The contemporary architectural landscape of the 21st century has, as in many other fields, come to embrace an interdisciplinary approach. In line with this, our Architecture programme has been structured to bring together different disciplines under the umbrella of design. The fact that our university is situated within the city of Istanbul provides an environment that enriches our students’ social and cultural lives throughout their studies.
