Assoc. Prof. Semih G. Yıldırım attended the 1st Postgraduate Academic Studies Congress.

Within the scope of the I. Graduate Academic Studies Congress organized by the Istanbul Gelişim University Institute of Graduate Studies on May 4, 2026, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Semih G. Yıldırım, one of the faculty members of the Department of Architecture, presented his study titled “Rationalizing Conceptual Illusions in AI-Assisted Design via the ‘Technical Verification’ Method.” In the study, conceptual illusions that may arise in artificial intelligence-assisted design processes were addressed, and a method for the technical verification of design outputs was proposed. The research highlights the importance of technical verification processes in the reliable and effective use of AI-assisted design tools. While showcasing the contribution of the Department of Architecture to current research in the fields of artificial intelligence and digital design, this study provided significant insights into the integration of innovative technologies into design processes.
