Prof. Dr. Mine Özkar Kabakçıoğlu is a leading academic at Istanbul Technical University's Faculty of Architecture, Department of Architecture, with a focus on computational design, digital fabrication, and architectural cultural heritage. She holds a Ph.D. from MIT (1999) and has been a full Professor at ITU since 2016, previously serving as Associate Professor at MIT (2013) and ITU (2011-2015), and Assistant Professor at METU (2006-2011). Research Centers: CMU Code Lab, NAAB Accreditation Committee Expertise: Shape grammars, material manipulation, Seljuk geometric patterns, socio-spatial analysis Her work bridges traditional craftsmanship with computational methods, particularly in Anatolian architectural heritage. She has led projects on brick bond analysis (TÜBİTAK 119K896), medieval stone milling workflows, and digital preservation of polyhedral designs like the Gömeç Hatun tomb. Her pedagogy emphasizes critical technical practice and accountability in computational design education. Scientific contributions include 15+ peer-reviewed articles on topics like Digital workflows for heritage conservation Visual reasoning in brickwork Material-aware shape computation She received the METU Young Researcher Achievement Award (2007) and serves on architectural accreditation boards. Her research group includes students and collaborators such as Sevgi Altun, Begum Hamzaoğlu, and international partners from NYU, MIT, and TU Delft.
