Reviews
“Studying Preservation of Cultural Heritage in Istanbul means my case studies are a tram ride away. Last term we documented actual Byzantine masonry for a conservation report instead of only reading about it in slides.”
“My Computational Science and Engineering courses at Kadir Has University are small enough that professors know exactly where each of us is stuck. I emailed mine about a solver bug on a Sunday and had an answer by Monday morning.”
“The Kadir Has campus is a restored tobacco factory on the Golden Horn, and working on Industrial Design projects inside that building changes how you think about form. Our studio critiques run late but nobody wants to leave.”
