The International Summer School on Mosque Design is planned to bring together academics, representatives from civil society, and industry professionals from both local and global contexts to facilitate the sharing of knowledge, ideas, and experiences. The summer school includes a variety of activities such as educational seminars, panels, workshops, design studios, technical tours, juries, and exhibitions to enhance participants' theoretical and practical knowledge and deepen their professional experiences. Young designers who aspire to shape the future of mosque architecture will have the opportunity to meet experienced mosque designers in Istanbul through these activities. The summer school is open to students and professionals in the design disciplines such as Architecture, Interior Design, Urban and Regional Planning, Landscape Architecture and Industrial Design with priority given to those particularly interested in mosque design.

The conference dates back to 2009, when the first international conference, "Architecture, Media, and Art," was organized at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University. The first of the theory of architecture conference series, ARCHTHEO, has been held since 2011 at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, focusing on the possibility of the theory without the backing of the practice or built environment. Therefore, The title was "Theory for the Sake of the Theory" emphatically. In 2012, the discussion centered on Living and space; the main topic has been chosen as "House&Home' in particular. ARCHTHEO '13 focused on the two leading roles in architecture, the architect and the so-called 'user', and 'Creativity, Autonomy and Function' has been a fruitful discussion theme. In 2014, 'Architecture and Text' was discussed; in 2015, 'Architecture and Criticism' was the main theme. In 2016, the ARCHTHEO Conference was merged with the ARCHHIST Conference series and, since then, has continued to focus on the theory and history of architecture from various perspectives.
