Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to reveal the development of the agenda by identifying the focal scales addressed in the doctoral and proficiency in art theses produced in the discipline of interior architecture in Turkey, to draw attention to the synergies between universities and to present a chronological perspective. The study was designed with the explanatory sequential mixed method, which enables to develop an in-depth understanding of the subject and then to strengthen this understanding by making some categorisations. In the study, statistical analyses and content analyses of 227 thesis studies were carried out.  Postgraduate thesis studies produced in the field of interior architecture have increased rapidly in recent years, with design research, environmental behaviour research and building technology research being the most focused topics. Design education, theoretical concepts, space perception and user-oriented design are of great interest to students. This study is limited to the doctoral and proficiency in art thesis studies in the discipline of interior architecture that have been successfully uploaded to the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) Thesis Centre, which regulates higher education activities in Turkey. This study, which provides a detailed overview of postgraduate studies, which are a resource in professional education where social benefit is prioritised, also reveals the limited limitlessness of professional practice and education. The study presents a comprehensive map of thesis studies in the field of interior architecture and is the first comprehensive research in this field in Turkey.
