Welcome to the Interior Architecture and Environmental Design Program!

The aim of the Interior Architecture and Environmental Design Program is to train designers who are capable of developing creative solutions for interior space planning, environmental design, and user needs.

Our Mission

Our mission is to equip our students with the ability to produce projects based on an interdisciplinary approach and technology integration, guided by aesthetic, ergonomic, and sustainable design principles—enabling them to develop original and applicable solutions within the human–space–environment triangle.

Our Vision

Our vision is to be a contemporary and pioneering educational program that raises environmentally conscious, innovative interior architects and environmental designers who can interpret aesthetics and technology with a holistic approach and are globally recognized.

Scope of the Curriculum

Our curriculum focuses on the following core themes:

• Architectural Representation Techniques
• Spatial design, aesthetics, form, and material relationships
• Design processes of building and furniture
• Physical Environment Control and Lighting Techniques
• Project development using digital tools (CAD, 3D modeling)

In addition, our students gain an interdisciplinary perspective by taking elective courses from various faculties.

Academic Staff

Our program has a strong academic team composed of experienced scholars specialized in architecture, design, technology, and aesthetics. Our faculty members actively contribute to both course content and ongoing projects by combining theoretical knowledge with practical application.

Student Clubs

There are many active student clubs at our university. Established in 2021 by our students, the Beykoz University Interior Architecture Club encourages students to socialize, take initiative, and bring their creative ideas to life. The club organizes a variety of events that support both professional and social development.

Activities

The Interior Architecture and Environmental Design Program offers students the opportunity to follow current design approaches and industry developments through conferences, seminars, and panels with expert guest speakers. In addition, technical trips, workshops, and hands-on projects aim to provide students with on-site observation and practical experience.
