Master of Science in
Architectural Design
(with thesis)
The four-year undergraduate education at schools of architecture in Turkey is based on giving basic information both on the practical and also the theoretical aspects of architecture. The main emphasis in the Master of Architecture Program in Architectural Design with Thesis Program at Istanbul Kltr University is to improve and deepen the scope of the basic information given during undergraduate education. The aim of the program is to bring up individuals and architects who are able to think deeply and analytically on themselves and on their profession in the context of the complex structure of the contemporary world. Architecture does not only have its own peculiar closed field of information. The knowledge of architecture, in addition to its ontological knowledge, is constituted and improved by being nourished from social sciences, philosophy, psychology, economy and technology. Developing a holistic view, comprising these different fields of knowledge, is very important for architecture that aims to shape the physical environment of people. The main research fields of the program are architectural theory and philosophy, design problems, city and architecture, landscape and architecture, theories and methods in architectural education and environmental psychology. In this context, the aim is to develop studies, targeting to start discussions on urban and social geography, thought and building systems, time and space concepts, and modern and current technologies, to improve the skill of analyzing and evaluating architectural products in the context of architectural concepts, and to develop a unique view oriented towards reading urban phenomena and architectural products. Students are expected to complete an original academic/scientific study and present this in the format of thesis at the end of the M. Arch program.
Master of
Architecture
(without thesis)
Istanbul Kltr University Master of Architecture in Architectural Design without Thesis Program depends on the concept of praxis (activity based thought), keeping the architectural design studio at the center. Thus, students are expected to take one architectural design studio and two elective courses for four semesters, with the aim of improving their skills in architectural design by means of projects more comprehensive than the ones in the undergraduate program. Architectural design studios are directed by a coordinator and based on a jury system with at least three jury members attending jury sessions organized periodically. Different from the ordinary coordinator and jury system, nationally or internationally prestigious jury members, who can be either academicians or professionals, are included in the decision making process of the program, enriched by some events like conferences, panels or excursions. Thus, with the participation of experts from various disciplines and the intensive effort of the students, architectural design studio becomes a process enabling students to understand and analyze the contemporary world, by using the tools of architecture, instead of being a simple architectural end product. Students empower and nourish the above mentioned design process by taking courses not only from Master of Architecture in Architectural Design without Thesis Program, but also from the pool including courses of Urban Planning, History of Architecture and Restoration, Architectural Engineering, and Building Management and Technology Programs in the Institute, determined together with their advisors.

The importance of conservation education is indisputable in a country like Turkey, which has such a rich historical repertoire. However, wrong decisions and unqualified practices give irreversible damage to our cultural heritage. The aim of the program is to overcome this deficiency and provide architects the necessary specialization education on the conservation of historic buildings and sites. In the context of these two different scales of conservation in the program, information is given on theories of restoration; principles of contemporary conservation; documentation of cultural heritage; conservation methods and the analysis of traditional materials; traditional structural systems and their problems; national and international legal and organizational regulations; preparation of measured drawings, restitution, restoration and reuse Projects of historical monuments; the evaluation of historic environments; morphological and typological studies; examples of conservation of historic sites from the world and from Turkey; new building approaches in historic sites; theoretical knowledge to develop conservation and rehabilitation Projects for historical environments, and a minimum of two conservation Projects are completed in the program.
The project topics are chosen from either historical buildings or historical environments in Anatolia, in order for the students to learn the characteristics of areas other than Istanbul, and to enable them to work in these areas. Furthermore, the program is enriched through the conferences given by local and foreign experts, and with mutual projects and workshops held in Turkey and abroad in cooperation with the leading universities of our country and Europe. Students, who complete their courses in two semesters, work on their theses, on topics determined with their advisors.
Master of Science in
Urban Planning
(with thesis)
Over the last decades, there has been a great tendency of designing cities via large scale regeneration projects in Turkey and in the world. No doubt this tendency reveals an opportunity for the architects and urban planners. Considering this opportunity, the basic purpose of the MSc Program in Urban Planning is to empower architects and planners, who will intervene in urban space via urban design projects, with adequate knowledge, and to improve their ability of implementation with contemporary urban design method and techniques. Thus, tracking the developments abroad by co-projects and workshops, while providing information and expertise infrastructure in order to define the problem and create solutions are among the goals of the Program. Urban Planning MSc Program, which is directed by the economical, social and political factors and processes shaping urban space, is conducted by experts in various research areas. The program is enriched by a range of courses, entailing an obligation to succeed in 4 compulsory and 4 elective courses complemented by a thesis (24 credits in total). Contemporary developments related with basic concepts and processes such as urban design method and techniques, urbanization, globalization, urban transformation/ urban regeneration, and creative cities are among the interests of the program. In the education process, urban structure, which has a complicated network of relationships, is deconstructed in terms of public spaces at the first hand, examined and reconstructed through main findings and samples on urban design.
Master of Science in
Architectural Engineering
(without thesis)
IKU Master of Science in Architectural Engineering Program in Department of Architecture aims to train architects who will have the necessary knowledge and skills to resolve the problems, encountered from design phase to construction and management phase, in the integration process of the sub-systems which comprise building superstructure. Continuously changing building technologies require efficient and correct use of complex buildings. On the other hand, since an important part of our country is located in seismic zones, the growing scale of construction requires a more conscious and professional expertise, with deeper knowledge on the structural system. The aim of the program is to train professional people having high technical expertise on different systems. In a complex building, due to the importance of system interactions in building quality and performance, it is essential to use different systems (service systems, structural systems etc) efficiently and accurately, and to provide integration among the systems. In this context, it is expected from the architects who will have a professional role in the sector, to be able to assess, select and integrate environmental factors and to use these data in building design. Compulsory and elective courses in the program provide students with sufficient analytical knowledge about each sub-system, and with the ability to integrate their knowledge and skills about the system and the techniques. Master of Science in Architectural Engineering program is suggested for those who want to carry on their professional life in practice or design.
