Successful Completion of the Project: “AI-Supported Learning and Production Processes in Cultural, Artistic, and Architectural Design Workshops; High School–University Collaboration Model” at OMÜ Faculty of Architecture The project titled "AI-Supported Learning and Production Processes in Cultural, Artistic, and Architectural Design Workshops; High School–University Collaboration Model", carried out in collaboration with the Samsun Science and Art Center, the Ondokuz Mayıs University (OMÜ) Faculty of Architecture, and the Samsun University Faculty of Architecture and Design, has been successfully completed. The project, led by Behiye Saygı and including the Dean of the Faculty of Architecture, Prof. Dr. Mehmet Çetin, on the Scientific Committee, brought together high school and university students in an interdisciplinary learning environment. It offered them the opportunity to experience AI-supported learning models in cultural, artistic, and architectural production processes. The activities, hosted by the Ondokuz Mayıs University Faculty of Architecture on October 10 and 17, 2025, saw students participate in three different workshops led by expert academics: Interior Design Workshop – “Imagine, Design with Artificial Intelligence”: Conducted under the direction of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Serpil Kaptan, students combined concepts of functionality, aesthetics, and user experience in interior design with AI-supported visual production tools. Students integrated imagination with digital design processes in the shaping of space, producing creative and innovative projects. Urban Design and Planning Workshop: Led by Asst. Prof. Dr. İlknur Zeren Çetin, the work themed "Green Cities: Sustainable Living Spaces" focused on sustainable urban planning principles. Architectural Design Workshop: Guided by Lecturer Şermin Demirtaş, the "Design the Shelter of the Future" activity allowed students to create original shelter designs using a combination of natural materials and digital tools. The workshops provided students with both theoretical knowledge and practical production experience, contributing to the development of their design, observation, thinking, and aesthetic evaluation skills. The events enabled students to directly experience the scope and content of the architecture, interior architecture, and city and regional planning professions, forming a basis for them to develop accurate and conscious approaches to their future career choices. The program concluded with the presentation of participation certificates.
