In this research it was tried to explore at which point the students in architecture have a sustainable vision in a local context in Turkey. The intermediate position of the young students between the school and the professional life that they will discover was used for establishing interrogations concerning with the education of architecture and the current practices. The results obtained from an investigation carried out within the school showed us that the students have a rather passive intention in the adoption of the sustainable values, whether that is at the school or for the future professional life. That is due in majority to the appreciations towards the exemplary shown architectural applications, with the existing dominant thoughts, the lacks of local example sustainable projects and with the program of architectural education which is still traditionally modernistic.
