The Architecture Doctorate Program at Istanbul Okan University is intricately linked with the Master's Programs in Architecture with Thesis and Non-Thesis, providing a comprehensive approach to architectural research and practice. The program addresses architectural challenges spanning from urban design at a macro scale to individual building design at a micro scale, integrating diverse disciplines. Emphasizing the conservation of historical environments and buildings, the program delves into theoretical frameworks and practical implementations. It explores the theoretical underpinnings of design culture across various scales and examines their manifestations in urban contexts. With a focus on creative, critical, and environmentally conscious thinking, the program aims to develop innovative design technologies and production models, offering modern solutions to contemporary architectural issues.
