Construction is a collaborative process where different stakeholders work together for the same goal. However teamwork is one of the essential points of construction process, architectural education is mostly designed as an individual process or team consists of architecture students. There are many advantages for architecture students to work in a collaborative environment from different professions. However, as in professional life there are some negative features of teamwork as conflict. Conflicts in a group can have both positive and negative effect but if they do not managed carefully, the relationship between two parties can be damaged. This study is conducted to analyze the conflict management styles of architectural students in an interdisciplinary collaborative project-based environment. The project was designed with teams of students that are from the department of architecture and computer engineering. When the results are analyzed , it has been found out that most of the architecture students choose integrating and compromising conflict management styles.
