INTRODUCTION Background – Objectives - Members Background Together with the departments of City and Regional Planning and Industrial Design, the Department of Architecture is one of the three departments of the Faculty of Architecture. The main activities of the METU Department of Architecture are training facilities and scientific researches. Training activities include undergraduate, Master's and Ph.D programs in the fields of architecture, building science, history of architecture and conservation science. These fields basically focus on the research areas listed below:- • Theories and Methods of Architectural Education • Economic Aspect of Building • Basic Design and Visual Communication, • Architectural Design and Theory • Building Materials and Construction Technologies • Construction and Detailing • Structural Design • Efficiency and Sustainability • Construction Management • Environmental Control and Services • Environment and Ecology • Building Performance and Maintenance • Building Acoustics • History of Architecture • Architectural Conservation • Landscape Design and Planning • Urban Studies and Planning • Professional Practice Faculty of Architecture has a Documentation Center (DOME), including an extensive Slide Archive . The Faculty also has well equipped CAD and 3D studios with printing, plotting and scanning functions and GIS workstation. There are two audio-visual rooms equipped with video, VCD, DVD and PC display facilities. Building Materials Conservation Laboratory of our Faculty serves as a teaching and research unit in charge of materials studies for the conservation of cultural heritage. Photogrammetry Center , W ood and Metal Workshops , printing and photography studios give service to a great variety of production in the Faculty. Solar House built by students is a laboratory for research in energy and environmental control. The Department encourages interdisciplinary studies, exchange programs for students and staff in order to develop international co-operations for research and training with other research institutes, organizations and universities. It also supports organizations of exhibitions, symposiums and other events in cooperation with national and international bodies. Objectives: • to encourage the development of research interests among its members and create awareness of research significance in construction • to provide a forum for disseminating, sharing and exchanging research skills and experience within the Student Chapter and towards other CIB Student Chapters • to improve the contact and benefits with other CIB Student Chapters and the global research community - to facilitate and promote joint research and academic exchange with other CIB Student Chapters and the global research community.
