In the following pages, you will find the work of the graduating class of 2025. The projects showcased in this catalogue are a vibrant testament to our students’ dedication and the rich four-year journey they have undertaken within our department. Graduation projects of Spring 2025 are the result of studio work conducted as two parallel units focusing on the project themes of “Go Big” and “İzmir Blue Hub”. Unit 1, with its theme “Go Big” reintroducing the idea of “bigness” identified by Rem Koolhaas in 1995, investigates the idea of bigness considering the 30 years of global trends in development and urban planning and develops architectural proposals of “bigness” with new information and techniques. Unit 2, with its theme “Izmir Blue Hub”, develops proposals celebrating the relationship between Izmir and the sea through a public complex featuring spaces for activities related to various maribe and maritime themes. To our graduates: We have witnessed your individual experimentations blossom into insightful discoveries, shaping you into the thoughtful designers you are today. As you embark on your careers, navigating a world undergoing profound technological and environmental transformations, we extend our best wishes for a future filled with impactful contributions and continued growth.
