Istanbul Technical University Department of Landscape Architecture Student Projects 2018-2022

Abstract

The Department of Landscape Architecture has successfully completed another four years. Our department, which is dedicated to producing projects that respect nature and culture within the axes of ecology and technology and providing education, continues to maintain its pioneering role in the field of landscape architecture in our country. Over the past four years, despite the impact of the pandemic causing disruptions in education and communication worldwide, we have continued to present significant opportunities for developing interdisciplinary relationships and our academic and research networks on national and international scales. This period, which has forced us to explore new pedagogical models, is defining these four years. Due to the pandemic and the increasing negative effects of climate change, there is a global understanding of the indispensable role of our profession in creating open and green spaces for urban ecology, public health, and resilient cities and societies. The interest shown by our students and graduates in the content of our education, which we have reshaped to train landscape architects aware of their responsibilities, has brought along many publications, awards, and research. Despite geopolitical, climatic, and socio-ecological crises, we have productively evaluated the 2018-2022 period, thanks to the dedication of our faculty members and the academic culture in our faculty. I express my gratitude to everyone who contributed to this effort.
