Faculty of Architecture Students Build a Roof

Bahçeşehir University Faculty of Architecture students received hands-on roofing training at a workshop.

Application demonstrations by 5 leading roofing companies selected by ÇATI-DER (Roofing Industrialists and Businessmen's Association) were held at Bahçeşehir University.

Faculty of Architecture students carried out roofing applications together with representatives of Atermit, Başak Kiremit, Onduline Eurasia, Rheinzink and Ytong, companies holding an important place in their sector.

At the hands-on event held in the front garden of Bahçeşehir University's Beşiktaş Campus, students also experienced titanium, one of the most up-to-date materials, first-hand.

AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET TO KNOW TODAY'S INDUSTRY UP CLOSE

Prof. Dr. Cengiz Bayülgen and Avni Yalçın, faculty members teaching the Building Materials and Construction Methods course at the Faculty of Architecture, said that examining the products closely and practicing the roof installation details demonstrated by professional craftsmen was a very useful experience for the students, and stated that this event, which cannot be seen even at construction fairs, was a unique opportunity to achieve advanced standards in architectural structures.

ÇATI-DER Secretary General Mehmet Öztürk also expressed their satisfaction at coming together with Bahçeşehir University in this project aimed at developing the roofing sector, and thanked the students and their instructors, who he believes will make an important contribution to quality in architecture.
