The aim of the M.A. program in Architectural History is to promote knowledge production and documentation of different periods and geographical areas of architectural culture and built environment through teaching and original research with historiographical and theoretical rigor; to familiarize students with both different perspectives on architectural history and recent developments in the humanities and social sciences at large; and by doing so, to train experts equipped with the requisite knowledge, analytical skills and initiative to undertake duties at academic institutions, research centers and relevant state institutions as architectural historians; to competently take part in international scholarship and assume an active role in institutionalizing architectural history in Turkey.
Research interests and disciplinary backgrounds of the staff cover various fields of history and theory of art and architecture. METU Graduate Program in Architectural History is offered within the Department of Architecture but is integrated with the Institute of Social Sciences and shaped by the concerns of the humanities.
