THE PROGRAM
Interior
Architecture Master Program gives education under the Graduate School of
Natural and Applied Sciences. The candidates of Interior Architecture Master
program (who are priorly undergraduates of Interior Architecture, Interior Architecture
and Environmental Design, Architecture, Industrial Design, Landscape Design and
City and Regional Planning) are required to make research in interior design
practices and discourses.
The main aim of
the program is to conduct original researches into the problems of interior
architecture through scientific analysis and to specialize in theoretical and
practical knowledge while considering the contemporary discourses of the field.
There are three TRACKS
under Interior Architecture Master Program: A. RITM -RESTORATION, INTERVENTION,
TRANSFORMATION, MODIFICATION- IN INTERIORS; B. DESIGN AND CULTURE; C.
ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES.
Students need to
complete 120 credits, minimum 8 courses and master thesis. 4 of these 8
courses are compulsory courses while the other 4 are elective courses. Students
are required to produce conceptual projects and to complete elective courses in
accordance with their chosen track. In addition to the elective courses of
interior architecture program, the student can also select courses from other
programs (e.g. Architecture Program).
If a student has
an undergraduate degree from different disciplines other than Interior
Architecture, Architecture or Industrial Design, he or she must apply to the
one year scientific preparation program which is constituted of undergraduate
courses. Scientific preparation program is prepared by the student’s advisor,
according to the student’s field. Interior Architecture Master Program accepts
undergraduates of national universities and of international universities which
are recognized by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK).
The language of
education is English. Students have to complete the program in four semesters.
They can get an additional 2-semester extension at maximum.
Graduates of
this program, which gives a degree of MSc in Interior Architecture can
apply doctoral programs. Therefore the program is an important stage not only
for supporting the researches of interior architecture profession but also for
the process of academic career.
TRACKS
TRACK A
RITM -RESTORATION, INTERVENTION, TRANSFORMATION, MODIFICATION- IN INTERIORS
Definition:
This module focuses on the theory and practice of adaptive reuse. The main aim is to bring a wide perspective on adaptive reuse. Students of this module are expected to specialize in the history and structural properties of built environments; the principles and methods of adaptive reuse in addition to the solutions of the problems of adaptive reuse.
