Message of the Dean
Dear Students,
 
Our faculty, which was established together with our university in 2007, is located in Safranbolu, which is on Turkey's UNESCO World Heritage List and also received the title of "Slow City" in 2024. The urbanization dynamics of Safranbolu and the industrial city Karabük, with their natural features, traditional settlement texture and architectural elements, offer you rich study and research topics in the fields of architecture, planning and design.
 
Our faculty includes disciplines that undertake the task of providing living opportunities to future generations in healthy and quality environments while meeting today's needs by using existing resources rationally and efficiently with the goal of sustainable development.
 
In our faculty, we provide undergraduate and graduate education and development opportunities with our expert academic staff and administrative human resources.
 
I wish you success in your education and training process at our Faculty, which aims to train qualified human resources who will play important roles in creating livable and sustainable settlements in our country, from the building scale to the city and regional scale.
 
Prof. Dr. Hatice Selma ÇELİKYAY
Dean of the Başak Cengiz Faculty of Architecture
