Department of Architecture (English)

The Department of Architecture (Turkish and English Programs) within the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture at Istanbul Gelisim University delivers a contemporary architectural curriculum aligned with national and international educational standards. Our educational approach adopts a holistic perspective built upon five core domains that constitute the foundation of our curriculum: Design and Creative Thinking; History, Theory, and Culture/Art; Environment, City, and Society; Technology; and Professional Practice. Our primary objective is to educate innovative architectural designers and researchers who integrate design skills with contemporary building technologies and digital tools, demonstrate sensitivity to the environment, the climate crisis, and historical heritage, uphold professional ethical values, and adapt effectively to changing conditions.
