Levent Kara is Associate Professor at the University of South Florida and teaches design studio and theory courses. He is a registered architect in Turkiye and has numerous design awards from the American Institute of Architects. Supporting his architectural practice and teaching, Kara's theoretical research concentrates on the epistemology of design thinking, from the fundamental modalities of architectural design in terms of the relation between thinking and making, to the more contemporary discussions concerning the conceptual and practical aspects of design processes. Kara’s writings range from formal philosophical subjects in epistemology, aesthetics, and culture theory, to architectural design, theory and criticism, and architectural pedagogy.
