IEREK believe in the high importance of science and scientific research and ensures that researcherā€™s practices and theories are applied in the real world by adopting different programs that serve students, researchers and managers who investigate and research dynamic changes in the quality of life.

IEREK adopts summer school programs for students who are looking for opportunities to increase their strength points in regards to their career path. IEREK welcome all university students (Architecture major) and Architects from different nationalities background.

The School of Architecture, Computing and Engineering (ACE) offers Architecture programs that are recognizable by their ā€˜hands-onā€™ approach to architecture, working with the physical exploration of materials and the processes of site and context. As a counterpart to our preoccupation with the physical environment, the school also has a number of dedicated computer studios which explore more theoretical and virtual models of architecture.

Built environment includes new buildings, existing buildings and the infrastructure that supports them.

Both, the built environment and the infrastructure including transport, water and sewage, waste, green and blue spaces and energy supply consume massive amounts of energy.

This could be reduced at all scales of the built environment from component to building to neighbourhood to city to region if planned strategically.
