Do you want to find out how you can keep your country and cities accessible in the future? Want to map out problems in disadvantaged districts? And would you like to design the ideal residential area of the future? Built Environment is the programme for you.

In our globalising and urbanising world, ever greater importance is placed on cities built for human well-being, with attractive living and working environments, traffic accessibility, traffic safety and sustainability. In the study programme International Spatial Development, a differentiation area of Built Environment, you will explore spatial development from an integrated perspective, based on urban planning, urban design and mobility – looking across country borders....

Look around you, at the house or neighborhood in which you live or the school you attend. Your surroundings are largely determined by the architecture and (civil) engineering. At T.U./e Architecture, Urbanism & Building Sciences doesn't just concern architecture but also urban development, constructional design, building physics, real estate and management and civil engineering. During your study you will discover what areas suits you best and then you can choose to specialize in that field.

The Architecture, Urbanism & Building Sciences major is a mix between theory and practice, between thinking and doing. You and your fellow students will learn about designing constructions, houses, offices, museums or even entire neighborhoods. In a multidisciplinary way, you will be learning about engineering, design and the building process.... [-]

B.Sc. Architecture provides students with knowledge and skills for the creative process of planning and designing, in urban and rural areas. You will learn about architectural tools, as well as a variety of interdisciplinary subjects related to architecture and planning process.

Examples of covered topics include: the fine arts, architectural and town-planning theory, the history of architecture, economics of building investments, basic management method in design processes, with emphasis placed on BIM (Building Information Modelling) techniques, state-of-the-arts computer technologies and software aiding with an aim towards best case design scenarios.

The subjects covered in lectures and design seminars is intended to implement knowledge permitting a formation of adequate and practical design skills. The design approach is enriched with the issues of strategic management required in each design undertakings – one of the most important issues in the architect’s professional life, allowing to create buildings possessing not only additional architectural quality, but also cost effectiveness alongside meaningful consideration for the environmental, health and overall well-being....

The quality of urban life is not measured by the scale of monuments, shopping malls, highways or top-down regulated activities, but by creating an environment, which is liveable, vibrant and sustainable.

In our course, Urban Planning and Architecture are taught equally. The program alternates between large scale and detail, between abstract and concrete, between theory and practice. In one sentence, we think that architecture is more than building houses and urban planning is more than deciding where to place them.

Both disciplines are contextual. Not only the use of a structure, but its context (e.g. landscape, infrastructure, social needs) determine the design. The question of the house of the future is closely connected with the question of the city of the future. Both questions need to be addressed from a social, spatial, ecological, and economic view....

This program trains students to apply their complex knowledge in the areas of architecture and urban planning, as well as in the multi-faceted field of environment formation in general (architectural design, town and country planning, preservation of built heritage, structural design, construction work, management and administration tasks, consulting with authorities, teaching, etc.) In addition, students are prepared for their professional planning license once they have gained the prerequisite practical experience as required by the relevant regulations. The final complex design project and the diploma design project are a summary, a synthesis of their studies and serve as a final assessment of their acquired knowledge. During training, studies are complemented by Scientific Students' Conference projects prepared with the co-operation of students and tutors (the latter also being in charge of supervising their work). Within the professional field of architecture, students acquire individual expertise in a specific field and can apply for admission to the DLA&PhD degree program based on their specialization. The DLA&PhD program operates within the framework of an accredited doctoral school at the institute.... [-]

Architecture is a powerful tool we use to transform our environment in order to make it a better place. More than ever as architects, but also as citizens of this world, we are aiming to design artifacts, buildings, and cities that not only reflect our dreams, creativity, ambitions as individuals and as societies but are also respectful towards our world and its inhabitants. Our program emphasizes the responsibility of architects for their impact on the environment. Our graduates will contribute to a new understanding of design based on an ethically responsible approach towards the environment and thus, will become involved actively in the creation of a better world. We envision a future where our graduates lead the way to developing more environmentally resilient ways of designing not only in Turkey but also all around the world. ... [-]

Architecture is the art and science of building. Its activities encompass the design, development, and planning of the built environment as well as managing the construction process. Architects play the key role in creating buildings and habitats that serve as integrated solutions to issues and contexts as diverse as design, research, practice, construction, socio-culture, human behavior, history, and the environment. An architect’s design could extend from working places and simple individual living to communal and urban living of the society. Such role demands highly professional and ethical individuals in creating a better-built environment. The Bachelor of Science in Architecture programme at UTM is designed to produce individuals that can fulfill this role.... [-]

Are you interested in the world around you? Are you fascinated by maps? Do you dare to ask critical questions about the world that you are living in? Do you believe you can help to further develop our world into a sustainable society? Then Human Geography & Urban and Regional Planning may be the right choice for you.

Why is unemployment higher in some regions than others? What are the social and economic consequences in depopulating areas? How do you deal with different institutions to plan and build new residential areas? Human geographers investigate society in a spatial context. Our students learn to focus on spatial differences because social phenomena happen in specific places, at specific times and with specific impacts.... [-]

Available Emphasis Areas:

The Bachelor of Science in Geographic Science and Community Planning integrates geographic knowledge and G.I.S. mapping technologies with the problem-solving fields of community planning and urban design.
