“Urban Booth Design” and “Virtual Interior Spaces” Workshops Held by the Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design

On April 30, 2025, The Faculty of Fine Arts and Design Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design held two workshops aimed at enriching the educational experience through hands-on learning and professional engagement of the students.

The Urban Booth Design workshop, led by interior architect Murat Dede, focused on the design of temporary urban structures. Working from a design brief provided by Dede, students focused on creating booth concepts that were visually impactful and emphasizing functionality, aesthetic value, and user experience. The workshop concluded with student presentations in which participants shared their project outcomes to other participants and instructors.

The second workshop, Virtual Interior Spaces, was conducted by architect Cenk Dereli. Students designed luxury wet areas, modeled their concepts digitally, and experienced their spaces in an immersive environment using VR headsets via the Teledomica platform. This method enabled real time spatial evaluation and a deeper understanding of user-centered design.

Following the completion of both workshops, a joint session was held where students came together to reflect on their experiences. Participation certificates were presented at the end of session.
