• Upon high interests in my remote lectures on (post-pandemic) architecture, interior and urban design strategies since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and many questions by graduate and undergraduate students in these disciplines, I and my team have been working on scheduling my remote courses for weekends. Our learning program is going to offer certificate of completion for accomplished students who take our 12 classes. With your coffee or tea, let's connect for "infinite" learning on the 21st century architecture!

From one of my architecture students:
“Dear Professor, thanks for your care and engagement with us throughout the academic term. I will never forget your love of teaching and your kindness to us. Our lessons have always been very enjoyable. It has been very valuable for me to learn the most recent knowledge that can support our professional career and practice directly and from such a valuable scientist like you. We have not had such an educator caring and with patience who wants us to learn as much as you have done. That is why I wanted to thank you. I hope I can use this knowledge (from this course) in a valuable way by blending and learning much more. I hope one day I will have the opportunity to work with you and learn from you face to face. I am so grateful for the opportunity to get to know you and to take this course. I hope this lesson will not be our last meeting. Take care of yourself. Thank you again for your effort, care, patience and kindness.”

Let’s connect for “infinite” learning on the 21st century architecture!
I am a passionately committed, responsive and inclusive educator in architecture (design) with my practice-oriented, social mindset and a holistic view considering its multidisciplinary and multisectoral nature intertwined with all design-centered disciplines and their (professional) practices. My current teaching vision and pedagogy in architectural design have being nurtured from the pioneering and innovative (scientific research, teaching and learning) ecosystems of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard and Columbia universities at where I have built my exemplary scholarship in architecture.
.
Primary goal of my current teaching practice and student-centered, inclusive pedagogy is a. to equip my architecture (and design-centered) students with essential and most recent scientific, architectural and design-centered disciplines' knowledge resources on (post-pandemic) our living environments, and b. to co-build their confidence to put their knowledge, creative skills and human-centered resolutions into the existing reality of the built environment in the 21st century. In today’s challenging and complex world, I strongly think that teaching in architecture (and in design-centered disciplines) should consider:
.
a. the survival of our planet with respect to environmental resources
.
a. the survival of our planet with respect to environmental resources
in a sustainable way,
b. human being's basic individual and collective physical, social, cultural, emotional needs,
c. "equity and justice" for everyone including historically underrepresented

c. "equity and justice" for everyone including historically underrepresented
and minority communities in society,
d. resiliency and responsive design formulations for climate emergency and natural disasters,
d. reality” of (post-pandemic) architecture design practice (instead of speculative scenarios in architecture),

e. emerging technologies in architecture and design with "human first" understanding.

Throughout my teaching career, I have provided productive, effective and responsive research consultation, guidance and mentorship to my students, supported and prepared some of them for their international graduate education (in architecture and design-centered disciplines), created and developed several courses in architecture (in-person, remote, English), worked with a founding academic team at the intersection of architecture and urban design, co-created core curriculum in these two disciplines, assisted teaching communities with their inclusive course content developments, their teaching practice, organized and published research-based exhibitions, lectures, symposiums, talks, workshops, roundtable discussions, research tours, etc. It has always been an honor for me to receive positive feedback from my graduate and undergraduate students in architecture, interior and urban design thanks to my outstanding student-centered pedagogy, clear learning objectives, well-structured course contents, excellent knowledge on essential and most recent resources in architectural design, my full commitment to scientific integrity, practice-oriented mindset, positive and clear communication, never-ending knowledge exchange with them.
