department chair’s message

The architectural profession is an interdisciplinary field, including wide range of
fields such as sustainable and ecological design, building structure and materials,
history of architecture and restoration, urban design and planning, interior design,
landscape design, construction techniques, philosophy and art.
At Okan University Department of Architecture, our aim is to train students to
become creative and modern architects who have a firm grasp on contemporary
technologies, and who possess historical and social awareness, sensitivity towards
the environment, and a sense of ethics. Our educational model is based on praxis
(learning by practicing) and focuses upon developing the leadership skills and
entrepreneurship qualities necessary for prospective architects. By incorporating
working architects’ active contribution into the design education, we bring students
into close contact with the professional sphere from the earliest phases of their
education, thus fully preparing them for the careers they will pursue after
graduation.
The English Program of Architecture aims to accomplish the aforementioned goals
by means of a program that focuses equally upon both theory and practice, carried
out under the guidance of specialized instructors. Particular emphasis is placed on
providing students with the latest knowledge regarding energy and the
environment. Thus students graduate not only with the professional skills needed
for a successful career in the industry but also with skills to compete at the
international level.
