Interior Architecture and Environmental Design

Hello, I'm Gazi Uğraş. I am a 1st year student at Ostim Technical University, Faculty of Architecture and Design, Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design. The Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design raises graduates who design healthy, comfortable, aesthetic, environmentally friendly interiors and their immediate surroundings, taking the user requirements into account. In our department, there are applied courses such as basic design, technical drawing, computer-aided design, and theoretical courses such as introduction to interior architecture, architecture and design history. In addition, we also have courses such as entrepreneurship and workplace training that will enable us to adapt to business life more easily. Since the applied courses are mainly held in our department, most of our courses are given in the drawing studios, in the computer and model workshops. Ostim Technical University is an industrial university established in Ostim Industrial Zone, which makes great contributions to the industrialization of Turkey. Therefore, it provides an easy and comfortable internship opportunity by contacting the contracted companies. Our internship adventure, which starts in the 2nd semester of the 1st grade, continues until the 8th semester. The working areas of interior architects are quite wide. There are job opportunities in the public and private sectors. It is possible to work in many ministries and institutions such as the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization in the public sector. In the private sector, they can establish their own design offices and practice interior architecture. Throughout my education life, I had a great interest in the field of interior architecture. Honestly, I can say that this is my dream job. The idea of being able to turn the ideas I thought into concrete brought me closer to the interior architecture and environmental design department. Before I came to the department, I was very interested in architects and designers who made original designs. I am excited that I will realize the ideas I have designed after the training I will receive. One of the reasons I chose Ostim Technical University was that Ostim Technical University is a 3rd generation university. The fact that the applied courses are intense and the internship opportunity was a big factor in my choosing. In addition, there are experienced faculty members who are experts in their fields. I have a project that I try to develop, and I want to continue this project after graduation. Afterwards, I plan to do my master's degree and open my own design office. I can say the following to students who will come to our university and department: They can make as many sketches as possible in their spare time. In addition, they can examine the architectural works, structures and materials in their surroundings. Finally, with the awareness that our university is a 3rd generation innovative university, they can come here and use all the facilities of our school. I wish success in the exam to those who will choose our university and department.
