We Interviewed Our Graduate Student Deniz Güler

We had a short interview with Deniz Güler, a double major graduate of Istanbul Gelişim University (IGU), Faculty of Fine Arts (GSF), Interior Architecture and Communication Design Departments, about the interior architecture profession, education process and project courses.

The details of the interview are as follows:

1-Hello Deniz, first of all, can you tell us a little about yourself? Why did you choose this department? What do you do
after graduation?

Hello, I wanted to choose the departments that are the most suitable for my character and the most interesting for me during the university selection period. I started my academic life with the Department of Communication Design and continued with the Department of Interior Architecture by participating in the Double Major Program of our school. I continue my business life, which I started working before my graduation, both by specializing in the field of social media and by making 3D architectural designs.

2- For our friends who are currently continuing their education, the Final Exams period begins in the coming days. The most intense and challenging Project Juries of the Interior Architecture Department will also take place this week, what advice would you like to give to your friends about both the project courses and the juries?

My biggest advice regarding the final period: Definitely, they should never leave the details of the project and the applications of the critics received with our professors to the last days. My other suggestion is to get the project prints before the exam day. I'm sure everything will be fine if they complete these.

3-Which space types did you work on in the project courses you took during your studentship?

In my projects; I worked on store, residence, restaurant, cultural center and hotel projects. In these areas, most of the time, our lecturers left us free to design without limits. Thus, we were able to reflect designs that exist in the world and that we can imagine beyond, into our projects. It was a challenging and enjoyable process.

4- Do you have any advice about the studentship process to those who will choose this department?

Never hesitate to take criticism during your student life. You are at the beginning of a very enjoyable section where you can reveal all your creativity. Enjoy it.

We would like to thank Deniz Güler and wish her continued success.
