Interior Architecture and Environmental Design

The Interior Architecture and Environmental Design department does not have an education program that only means creating visual and cultural identities for places.

About

The education program of this department has a structure that transforms students’ interior space and environment perception in an aesthetic way. Also, besides improving practical skills, the program is based on organizing and planning interior spaces of architectural areas with artistic touches.

Design and production ateliers that are integrated with learning places are intended to respond to the needs of society in that field. It is believed that instead of an isolated education from society, it is better to integrate high cultural values with social values.
