A seminar on "A Critical View on contemporary architecture Education, Architectural Practices and Architect Profile" was held in Ondokuz Mayıs University (OMU) Faculty of Architecture.

The seminar held in Fine Arts Campus OMU Stage was attended by Faculty of Architecture Dean Prof. Dr. Derya Oktay, faculty staff and a great number of students. TOBB University of Economics and Technology Department of Architecture Dr. Lecturer Murat Sönmez gave students valuable information about architecture and design.

Pointing out that the designs of late resemble each other, Murat Sönmez said "Today, we are going to make a remark about contemporary architecture. The world has become so small, information is disseminated so easily that, while devising a design today, we all think alike; produce alike at some point and the designs we produce to be original look very similar. This can be related to the so-called partnerships system. Today, when a designer from China uploads a design 5 minutes ago to the internet, that design can become an inspirer for each of us. That is to say, we can take the images of that design and use it in our own in a sort of way. 2 things we reach the easiest: Knowledge and image. For instance, the winning design in a design competition in İzmir and another design competing were almost the same; only the coefficients and colors were different. They can not have copied from each other, as they have entered the competition at the same time. We define the problem as such: We all think equally today in the face of a design problem. We use the same images and mass language. They say to us 'you should find the original one in architecture'. I hope this seminar will bear positive results for architect candidates."

The seminar ended with a Q&A session.
