The Barkat Building Production Workshop became operational in February 2025 within the scope of a design and construction project. Work on prototype production and on resolving structural problems within the scope of the project is ongoing. In addition, the workshop focuses in particular on a TÜBİTAK project on timber structures, on scientific research projects and on other R&D activities.
In the workshop, course materials are developed and presented to students in order to reinforce topics that are difficult to grasp in traditional construction techniques and building technology courses offered to the architecture and interior architecture departments. At the same time, workshops, competitions and courses are organized within the context of these courses on the construction, loading and testing stages of structures such as timber houses, timber bridges, timber pergolas (canopies) and brick arches/vaults.
Facilities of the Workshop:
- CNC Machine (90x130 cm)
- CNC Machine (30x40 cm)
- Laser Machine (CUT-ENG CEL 6050)
