The grounding principles of the Department of Architecture at Altınbaş University are to embrace an innovative and creative educational approach, follow recent developments in architecture at national and international contexts, support and encourage interdisciplinary academic research, and work for integrating experiences of research and practice.

Within the framework of a learner-centered educational approach, it is aimed to maintain the active participation of students to the learning process, encourage learning by doing, and develop skills of establishing associations, making criticism, interpretation, and synthesis. The ultimate objective is, thus, to enhance the efficiency and continuity of learning. Architectural curriculum comprises courses connecting theory and practice with the aim of developing both generic and subject-specific competences of students. Area elective, humanities and social sciences, and free elective courses together with the opportunities of minor or double major programs encourage the development of a holistic approach to architecture.

Altınbaş University Department of Architecture aims to produce open-minded graduates, critical inquirers and creative designers with a strong sense of ethics, social responsibility and environmental awareness. The graduates are envisioned to play active roles in related professional and academic fields as problem solvers and pioneers of innovations in Turkey and the world.

We use English as medium of instruction in teaching architecture in order to constantly keep up-to-date with ever-changing and growing field of knowledge. Our faculty is composed of competent and highly motivated specialists from varying fields of interests.

Located in Mahmutbey Campus, our department provides its students with various instructional facilities including design studios, model making atelier, PC laboratory, library, and conference hall.
