Architecture Lessons in the Streets of Florence

Students of the Bahçeşehir University Faculty of Architecture and Design continue to carry out projects in major cities and centers around the world.

Having conducted research and studies in New York, Chicago, Prague, Vienna and Florence, architecture students are now preparing to carry out various projects in the world cities of Kavala, Riga and Barcelona in the coming days.

Having the opportunity to observe the relationship between the city and architecture closely in the world's major metropolises and centers and to work with international academics and architects, students of the Bahçeşehir University Faculty of Architecture and Design have the chance to see developments in the world on site through international programs organized every summer.

Bahçeşehir University Dean of the Faculty of Architecture and Design Prof. Dr. Ahmet Eyüce says, "Architecture is the world's oldest profession. One cannot become an architect without seeing and traveling to other geographies."

Having completed their technical studies in New York and Chicago within the scope of Architecture in Metropolitan Context and returned to Türkiye, the students closely examined the architecture-city relationship and the world's important buildings in these two great world cities.

Bahçeşehir University students who participated in the program in Florence, regarded for centuries as the center of the Renaissance, visited the city's art galleries and museums in addition to research trips to historical and urban spaces. The group of Faculty of Architecture and Design students and instructors worked at Kent State University's Florence Campus, carrying out studies in which watercolor and pencil drawing techniques were taught both in the studio and in Florence's architectural and cultural spaces.
