Abstract

It is important to raise the issue of art in students who will be the next generation architects and creators of qualified settlements. Architectural education is generally about not only buildings as commonly thought, but also an act of design that pushes the limits of thought and imagination. Many schools of architecture that were aware of this “wore buildings”. This current study defines a stimulating process, which is provided by the expected, and unexpected feedbacks for the stakeholders of the education experimented at schools like Selçuk University, which focuses architectural education on structure, construction and building, where conservative, strict and didactic approaches are supported whereas the implementation of any type of unorthodox and unconventional design is viewed suspiciously. Seen from this aspect, it has the potential to guide schools of architecture with similar qualities.
